Question for folks with direct experience—What is the going rate for freelance tech editing of patterns in the arts and crafts field? I’m particularly interested in weaving, but it seems that knitting, sewing, and crochet could be comparable.

A big sigh of relief. I just finished up my largest handwoven blanket to date, coming in at a finished size of 71”x 102”. Maybe not the most complex structure, but definitely the my most challenging for me so far. Woven double-width in a hand-dyed warp.

I post on IG so infrequently these days that I immediately get suspicious of any new account that follows me there. I just assume it’s all bots or humanoids up to no good. Also, it’s funny to me that now may be the time that someone would finally decide to open an account.

I’ll love sampling and messing around with ideas—with no pressure for perfection or a lovely finished item.

I’m selling at a fine art and craft show this weekend have had two people come up to me to talk about how annoying it is that the @newyorktimeshaiku.bsky.social Spelling Bee doesn’t accept “heddle” as a word. I’ve also noticed it and it’s super annoying.

This afternoon I got to email a few pictures to the kind man I bought this loom from a few months ago. It was Catherine’s, his late wife, and he was looking forward to seeing it back in action and setup in its new home. All looms has a story. 💗

I just received a very polite message that essentially said “Hi! I love your work and am trying to copy it, but am having trouble. Can you help me?” 🫠

Maybe I just see weaving patterns everywhere, but I couldn’t help but to notice that my boot print in the snow looks like what I’m weaving this afternoon.

My son just asked what I would choose if I could be any object or thing, not an animal, for 3 hours and was guaranteed to turn back into myself and be conscious of the experience. I think a redwood tree by the coast. He would be a bike of a rider practicing for the Red Bull Rampage.

Some student’s work from the class I taught this weekend. Everyone dressed their looms on Saturday and went home with a completed scarf by Sunday afternoon. It was a bit of a marathon, but everyone did a fantastic job and were very focused.

I’ve spent at least 30 hours prepping for a weekend class for which I’ll get paid for only the 16 class hours. Thankfully all of that work will be done the next time I may teach this class, but it’s also the reason why I don’t/can’t develop too many new and different classes.

The scarf that was being woven yesterday. I designed it for newer weavers to get a taste of weaving overshot without getting overwhelmed by the slower nature of two-shuttle weaving. Could have used a pressing before taking pictures.

I just got an email from @mohelaofficial.bsky.social (fed student loan servicer) today saying that there had been a change to my auto pay payment. Tried to log in to the site only to find that apparently it’s flipping out. I can’t log on and it’s acting like they have no record of my account. 😖

This morning I’ve been sitting by this sunny window weaving a class sample for an upcoming beginner weaving workshop. I’m sure this winter cactus never imagined that it would be used as a draft holder.

I’m at the little loom in the living room weaving a new class sample while Raz is at the computer just through the door playing a game and we are listening to a Radiolab together. Cozy.

This cutting mat was just delivered from Joann with quite possibly the perfect amount of packaging. A rare thing indeed. Just the mat slid into a flattened box with the edges taped.

I heard this snippet on the local NPR station this evening and then had to look up the transcript to make sure I didn’t mishear the words of a difference attorney for two of the eleven CT people who just received pardons.
They gave her the mic and she took it.

Chunky core-spun handwoven wool rugs filling up the loom. It’s nearly time to cut these off and then fill it back up again. Sabine doesn’t look very impressed.

I’m getting so close to finishing my first crocheted thing—a blanket made entirely from loom waste, nearly empty cones of yarn, and weft bits and bobs left over from weaving. It’s been over a year in the making.
