Fiber Monday - a whole lot of warps

I've measured out a lot of warp over this past week. I find it to be a very soothing activity. It doesn't require a huge amount of concentration, but just enough that the hamster in my head can't completely take over. It requires some large hand movements that cross the midline because of needing to guide the yarn around the yard wide warping board. (And anytime you do something with your hands that crosses the midline, it can be very regulating because it activates both sides of the brain which is an integrating activity ) It's really fun and interesting to watch the colors change and see how they will look together. And you end up with nice chained warps at the all ready for the next step in the process to becoming cloth. 

Here is the warp for the blanket I'm weaving for B. and HC., all 960 ends of it.


Then I decided to keep going and measure the warp for another project. Because we're now entering what I call "the season to not ask questions", you might not be seeing anymore of this warp anytime soon. 


Next up, while I didn't make this, I still wanted to share it because it was such a fantastic find. I popped into a thrift store today and came across the most fantastic coat... in my side. Yes, it came home with me. The flowers are embroidered, and to my eye it looks like hand embroidery and not machine embroidery.



I'm very excited to wear it.

Finally, because this pretty much sums up my approach to life, I share the following meme.
