This is the beginning of my working on a 'new' design, since the current warp is coming along nicely and should be off before my yarn order arrives.
I've had several conversations lately that were not about exactly the same thing, but kind of revolved around the same topic - learning how to 'read' your textile (and by that I mean the drafts, too).
This morning another one happened and I responded with a short explanation and the person had an ah-ha moment and thanked me for the way I explained the issues she was struggling with.
It's been 10 months since my fall and brain bleed. It has been a very long 10 months, but finally - due to my continuing to search for ways to keep going - I finally feel like my brain is...not restored to what it was, but at the very least, beginning to function in a way that feels good, to me.
I still struggle with finding the words I need, when I need them, but at least the *concepts* involved in turning thread into cloth seem to be still there. I just need to keep working on how to access and then express them.
The response this morning went a long way towards helping me feel as though I truly *was* healing and that - if I can get the rest of my body more functional - there may be several more years of weaving that I will be able to do.
In the meantime, my Canadian sale (buy two, get three) continues until midnight July 9, 2025. I hope Canadians everywhere had a good day yesterday. And let's keep working towards keeping Canada, Canada.

So wonderful to hear that your brain is healing, and that you are doing better. I am glad that you are listening to your body and giving it what it needs!
