I don't know how the Targee will go with the other warp threads since it is so sprongy! You may want to keep it for something else unless you have enough for all of the warp.<br />What summer? In April, for about five days we had summer. Since then it has been early winter..........rain, cold and even frost! My garden? Ha!

I think you stay more busy than I do. I don't weave but have cleaned out all of my cross stitch. Not as cool as the dying and future spinning but it makes room for more yarn! Wahoo! I love all the colors. I am a dark color/fall/earth tone lover. They all look fabulous.vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-25155529338792762162009-07-14T13:59:25.538-07:002009-07-14T13:59:25.538-07:00I think weather is odd everywhere.

It's been warm here but nothing like the usual heat for this time of year. I rather like it since heat makes me tip over. Perhaps there will be an Indian summer so your garden can finish happily?beadlizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345991066699824794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-58313803167512678172009-07-14T10:02:04.602-07:002009-07-14T10:02:04.602-07:00Personally, I love your schedule :)

We're in the 80s and seem to be having a break from the cooling monsoons right now. Every summer I realize this "person of Celtic extraction" was not meant to live where there's so much sunshine. :) Somehow thoughts of ferny forests and mists feel more like home to me. But alas...AZ it is.;)<br />I love the project! And the yarns are great! I'm having problems cleaning out my guest room closet full of fibers, yarns and material for quilting. <br />The problem is I stop working to look and fiddle with all the fibers. Hmm...maybe blinders would work.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-422916930912235742009-07-14T08:08:05.717-07:002009-07-14T08:08:05.717-07:00Wow...that was a lot of work before getting sick!!...Wow...that was a lot of work before getting sick!!<br /><br />My experience with Targhee is it's like spinning springs.....it makes one of the most elastic yarns I've ever encountered. Polypay is a close second.<br /><br />We've had a very cool summer as well. In the 50's the past couple nights.

I love the over dye colors on darker fleeces myself. You know, my bet is that if they liked the colors in the one house, they will most<br />likely bring them in to another house.

I purchased a tiny bit of dye at NEWS....so I'm interested whenever people post about dyeing now.<br /><br />Plus I really want to make some blankets.....so I'll be closely following your work on that too!<br /><br />I'm sure they'd paint their new house to match a handwoven blanket, right??<br /><br />We've had such a strange spring/summer too. Finally about a week ago the sun came out and the temperatures are perfect. In the 70's. So nice! (We were afraid that once the sun came out it would shoot up into the 80's at which point this New Englander starts melting!)<br /><br />Hope you feel well soon and can get back to your loom!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.com
