Well it's a week most of my friends are away at Pennsic. Great news traveling back of battles, parties, purchases, and well deserved awards. Hoping one and all have a safe and happy Pennsic war.
In the meantime, I am making progress on my 5 silk kirtles. Currently have two bodices assembled and now working on the next. Hoping to be attaching skirts next week for all 5. The fit seems to be good for doing the pattern cutting when tired late at night. I don't recommended cutting patterns late at night or if one is tired.
On the weaving front, no new progress on the loom. Though still looks awesome. I have a lace development I will be sharing later, so stay tuned.
Though as folks are making awesome once in a lifetime purchases, I am working on my own. The following are pictures of a walking wheel or aka great wheel. This is one in working order located about an hour west from me. I will have the beauty in hand on Friday. Looking forward to seeing if it will fit in my mustang. Though it disassembles and I plan on unloading my trunk completely. I think it will work according the measurements provided. The wheel is for a wonderful deal cash on hand $125. Which is much less than 200 year old my castle double draft wheel. Super stoked and ready to pick her up.
So here is to responding when opportunity knocks,
