The loom is threaded but not fully warped; have to wind it on, then wind some bobbins for the shuttles, and then I should be ready to rock and roll. Warp is mostly Shetland "Pearl", with Shetland "Birch" (light grey/green) on the edges. 13 yards, which should give me enough running room for 5 scarves and possibly a pouch/purse.
It was interesting moving the heddles into place and threading the warp yarns... sitting there, sort of straddling the side of the loom, leaning over to the side to see the heddles, I was reminded of when I used to work on playing/tuning my old harp...
Did a couple of I Ching readings last night. No real surprises there, for me anyway. More discussion/communication needs to happen. Now. What results from that may not take effect immediately, at least as far as physically moving to Ashfield, but the talks will be happening over the next week or so.
Meantime, I contemplate 'worst case' moving scenarios, like having to spend the summer potting up the garden so that we can put the lawn back in.... grass takes time to grow, and July/August isn't the best time to try to start that... Fortunately we have a big driveway, so I have somewhere to put pots until their final destination is determined, should that come to pass.
Best case (laziest and least nerve-wracking, anyway) would be to work out whatever it is we're going to do, and time it to happen next spring, after sugaring season. I would still have potting to do, but not as much.
More thinking to do. Best go and wind the warp on the loom...
