Ramblings

Last night I finished my Baltic woven Christmas Band, woven on my Seidel Card Loom and 13 pattern thread Sunna Heddle.

I'm happy with the way it came out, and hope to start another weaving project tomorrow.

Bob and I left Medora, ND this morning and moved east to Bismarck, the capitol of North Dakota, population 72,500. As a state capitol it's pretty small. We will be here fore four nights doing some sightseeing and relaxing. Then we will head over to the North Unit of TRNP for a few days. Bismarck is a little out of the way since we are heading towards Yellowstone but we are OK with that--we make up our own rules! We changed time zones again (to Central Time) and will try not to get too used to that because we'll be back on Mountain Time on Tuesday.

Right now, our prayers are going out for southeast Texas where Hurricane Harvey is about to make landfall. Our insurance agent for the RV actually called us today to make sure we were in a safe place (our mailing address is in Texas.) We've never had an insurance company do that.

Until tomorrow...

  1. Beautiful band ! I just started weaving on an inkle loom a couple weeks ago, and enjoy it very much. Your band is a style of pick up? I have been trying to get a copy of a book that is out of print. Going to keep watching for a copy. Enjoy Ellen

    1. Thanks Ellen! Yes, it's a type of pickup--here's a video on the technique: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lx-HzxW6t-s
