Memory lane, fiberarts and other peaceful things.

 First, what everything's all about for your humble blogwriter

And, speaking seasonally


Meanwhile, I was in a discussion earlier about the gentler programs we used to let our kids watch, and I remembered a lovely CBC production, The Friendly Giant. Then found him on  YouTube, from way back, in the late sixties.




Fifteen minutes of music and stories and puppets. Handsome Son watched this when he was two or three. I think it's still worth seeing. Simple production, and a warm atmosphere.

The Tuesday Knitting Group was fun, several people there and knitting, crochet and Tunisian crochet were in progress.




Talk ranged widely as always, over finishing other people's knitting, hearing aids the fitting and repairing of, religion, languages, the Greek middle voice, knitting needles, teaching, the Trenton cigar factory, old neighbors, freecycle and more. I love my group.

Textiles and Tea was about Tracy Kaestner, Joanne, this is for you! She specializes in towels of all colors. Originally she sewed clothing and still designs items, but her main interest is weaving and writing about and designing towels. Here, take a look.







Speaking as a sewer, get a look at those great bound button holes, virtuoso work







Great Tuesday. Again. Wednesday will probably involve pumpkin bread, using the rest of that canned pumpkin and some of the whole wheat flour I got recently.  It's all good.

Happy day everyone, weave on.
