Little to no progress...

I have little progress to report since my last Blog entry. My life is roiling with, well, life, and I'm trying to practice some of the skill I'm learning in  watercolor and drawing classes; hoping this will improve future fiber artistic endeavors.

I have been knitting slowly along on my Seaside Endeavor; for some reason it's a very slow knit. Maybe because I'm knitting fronts and backs at the same time? Anyways, I'm bout 5 inches into it, and progressing at a snail's pace.

I also warped up more thrums on my tablets and have been attempting Egyptian Diagonals, which aren't Egyptian but are very old never the less. Out of roughly 18 inches, I have one 3 inch stretch that looks like it should. I believe I'm starting to get the sequence into muscle memory, and learning to read the pattern like I should... I'll keep at it and will take photos when I've woven to the end.

Looks like we're moving, so I'll need to spend some time sorting out what to keep available during the move process; the studio might be in boxes for several months and I don't know what I'll do if I run out of idiot projects for the duration.

Now if I could only find my reading glasses...
