1056 threads, but who's counting?

Me!  I am exactly 1056 threads into the threading for the dress fabric, with 11″ threaded and 13″ more to go.  AND I am caught up on Weavolution – which shocks and astonishes me, since I have been running like the proverbial hamster for the last week, trying to keep up.

All in all, a good day.

Other than that, not a whole lot to report – just a lot of threading, heddle by heddle, and a nice relaxing day.

One thing I did want to mention – Weavolution is expanding its alpha, so if you’re interested in participating, drop me a line at tienchiu AT gmail DOT com and I’ll set you up with the sneak preview.  We’ve still got bugs, and are still tweaking some things around, but the site is looking better and better every day!  We’d love your input, too.

    A “retro” comment from a previous post.

    Guess who went out and bought paper packing tape today?
    (I hope two rolls will do it!)

    P.S. I met Alison in NYC last weekend, which was terrific, and congratulations on an incredibly productive week””

    The longest journey begins with a single step. You’re 1056 steps closer to your goal. 🙂

    Cheers,
