At Woolfest the spinners tent also had people making hand spinners from CD's and a piece of dowl rod-all very clever.<br />Looking forward to the crop.<br />Kyla<br />Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956374094795317880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930416465746558041.post-67438814811509817082015-05-08T22:30:09.501+01:002015-05-08T22:30:09.501+01:00What a box of delights this week!

The spinning brought back many memories initially I trained as a weaver and learned how to both spin and weave. Ichose to weave on large vertical tapestry looms but I still have a dusty table loom. Not sure I can remember how to warp it up now! :)Paper rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259871970757314671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930416465746558041.post-36313190856957857592015-05-08T19:18:53.343+01:002015-05-08T19:18:53.343+01:00Hello LLJ,

The fat quarters you have look great; I imagine the bunting will look as nice as all your other projects. How special to get something hand made! <br />I'm sorry I haven't been around. Life has once again taken over. My total knee replacement is scheduled for June 8. I've been busy finding someone to dog sit, get me to/from the hospital, in home physical therapy, someone to stay with me the first week I'm home. Next I'll be buying a toilet raiser (haa)..... Will be out of work for maybe three months - then I'll get some posting done. Although I will more than likely be under the influence of pain meds. Hmm, wonder what I'll write about.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Kay505whimsygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594635228441769910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930416465746558041.post-34833219844316886632015-05-07T19:04:06.708+01:002015-05-07T19:04:06.708+01:00Hope things are well with your dad and that you go...Hope things are well with your dad and that you got the bunting under way today.

I'll bet it is fun to learn to do that stuff and maybe a bit more practical than paper crafting??? Great seeing you in action as 'the band played on' (had a chuckle at that). Happy crafting!

The guy with the bobbins is making a Japanese braid and the process is called kumihimo - I saw it demonstrated at one of the craft fairs in the NEC a couple of years ago - you can just buy a cardboard disk with slits round the edges and a hole in the middle instead of the wooden marudai frame the man is using here. Hope this helps!
