Textiles and Tea, sockmageddon, food sourced here and there

Yesterday, as I was finishing up the first sock of pair two, a bigger size than pair one

doorbell rings. There's across the street friend and contractor, also great cook and baker, with this

Four slices of banana bread, two with, two without, chocolate chips. If you're a musician, augmented and diminished.

Supper involved wondering what to make from my bare kitchen. Then using the last of the cooked mushrooms from the previous night's omelette, with Vermont butter, capers Parmesan cheese, to make a pasta Alfredo kind of thing.

Leftover pasta to go with today's roast chicken thighs. There's always a chain of evidence going on around here.

But meanwhile a Textiles and Tea program,

with Carol Irving, a little technical for non weavers, where she got into shed switching or something. There's a slide demoing this. Joanne and Judy probably will get this. The rest of us are free to say well, would ya look at that, then.

Her work is large, about five by three feet, and you can see she likes color and flow.  

I enjoyed the works, not many because they're large and slow to make. Also she was employed full-time her whole life, supporting her weaving habit.  

And like many of the guests on t and t, she started life in the sciences. Weaving  involves a lot of calculations and careful planning, so it so appeals to the linear thinker.

Full day there.
