I am not sure who recommended I watch Inherit the Wind, but WOW! AND THANK YOU! Paying it forward here by forwarding the recommendation...1960 film telling a story from 1925...100 years ago and we are still there. I'll leave it at that.

Revisiting an old favourite, my first hand spun tank top, pattern made up as I went...moths have had their way with this, but as it has slightly felted over years, I cut out sections, and have enough raw stash wool from original to spin and patch up to get this guy back in action.

Getting a warp on this 'stick loom' was challenging this time around, had a moment of feeling like maybe I needed to not have a loom made with sticks from the garden, but one of milled lumber instead.
