Still in recovery from recent feasting, Saturday was about soup from leftover's including scraps of game hen, then fruit, yogurt and granola bars. Dialing back the fat and sugar a bit. And making broth from the remains of the game hen for future soup.
Quite a bit more weaving Saturday, and I think this warp length might make two lanyards. I added in a lot of extra length when I measured the warps, just in case.
I also added in an extra photo Saturday, scroll back if you missed it, to show how the other warp ends are secured to give tension. I'm really happy at how well my diy rigid heddle is working.

It was time to mash bananas, since they'd arrived at just the right speckly ripeness. Three lots for the freezer for future banana bread. One cup, 3 bananas, mashed for each loaf.
Apparently for Misfits the banana project is a big deal. Test marketing only -- I'm not far from HQ, so I'm in the testing region.
Major producers such as Dole, for now, rather than indies, to reduce the complications, detailed questions to me about my order.
Evidently you can't pack bananas with other produce because it outgasses and can push other fruit to ripen en route in the box. This could mean berries or other soft fruit would be past it when they arrived.
So there's a special breathable banana bag outside the box. Maybe these issues are the reason they haven't included them before.
Father Richard's audiobooks are a good accompaniment to my current weaving. After I finished weaving Friday night, needing to rest my back from steadily maintaining tension, I did a bit of crochet thinking there are various ways to make whistle lanyards while Death in the Parish played.
