When I was in Paris recently, I saw a range of beautiful silk-covered concertina photo albums in the window of a stationery boutique.

There are so many fun ideas that we found, we just had to share with you guys. Which one of these ideas is sticking out to you? I want to make them all! This isn't

In 2004 I returned to New Mexico to learn traditional Rio Grande-style tapestry weaving at Northern New Mexico College in El Rito. I rented a little adobe apartment there and found a job working in the Mesa Vista public school system. It was good. I loved weaving at the college 2-3 days a week. In the spring of 2005 I took the loom building class from Quentin Wilson and made this 2 harness counterbalance walking loom with the assistance of my parents. Dad insisted on precise measurements, and the loom turned out well. This photo is in my studio in El Rito. It has been a weaving studio for a long time--the building is right on the road and the walls are 5 feet thick adobe. My studio in Velarde before the Harrisville Rug loom found a home here. Until 2009, I wove all my tapestries on this loom. I love standing to weave as it seems easier on my body at times. However, in 2009 I received a couple looms from my grandparents who were moving to an apartment and I no longer have need of this Rio Grande. So I am selling it. I am 5 feet 10 inches tall, so the loom is taller than many of the walking looms you find in NM. It could, however, be shortened if necessary. Let me know if you're interested! The loom comes apart enough that I could fit it in my Volkswagen Golf, though it is easier if you can leave the large pieces together. It has a 40 inch weaving width and comes with an 8 dent reed. $550 OBO. Here a few more photos I found in Rebecca's archives...

Momento tricô Este conjunto para bebê em tricô é de mais uma revista do meu acervo. Ela foi comprada quando eu estava grávida da Lívia (filha #1), hoje com 23 anos. Depois usei a mesma revista no enxovalzinho da Isabela (filha #2), que está com 19 anos. Fiz várias coisinhas fofas que tem na revista, mas nunca fiz o conjuntinho rosa, que é lindo. Na época tinha receio de não conseguir tricotá-lo porque não tinha muita prática com o tricô. O modelo continua atual, então resolvi dividir com vocês. Revista: Mon Tricot Bebê - nº 99

Egyptian Sprang Cap - CE 400 to 699 AD, Whitworth Art Museum, Manchester UK So this is how a fiber adventure starts. Somebody created a Pinterest page of Sprang pictures http://pinterest.com/rosemaryeskew/sprang/ I post the link on the yahoo group Sprang_List http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sprang_List/ One of the questions asked was "does anyone have a clue how the yellow is incorporated into this Egyptian piece? seen alone here:" http://emu.man.ac.uk/emuwebwag/objects/common/webmedia.php?irn=21756 Which is the cap pictured above. I would like to see the bottom edge but it is cropped out of the picture. I was poking around the the picture and it seemed like the yellow is a supplementary yarn. If you would like to see how such a cap is constructed you should download this document (1.3MB MS Word Doc format) http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/petrie/documents/Textiles_in_the_Petrie_Museum It shows construction of common pieces of traditional Egyptian clothing. Including a sprang cap with twined edging. It even shows the gathering at the top and the rope securing it. So if twining is common maybe the yellow is supplementary yarn. So I enlarged and digitally enhanced the picture using a program called Photoscape. Above you can see the red/green creates the open mesh familiar as sprang. The yellow yarn seems to fill the gaps in the mesh created by the red/green yarn. I expect there are knots on the inside where the yellow yarn circles are made. Looking at enlargement near top of the cap you can see yellow stripes are part of the design. The top of the cap in this case is the "middle" of the sprang. So maybe the yellow yarns are carried along the inside of the cap, kind of like stranded knitting. It also looks like the yarns are somehow twined together then interlinked. This is a fascinating possibility of technique. Finally, I enlarged the right side edge to see how the side was sewn up. I can't see it very well, except that it appears to be less organized in that area than the rest of the piece. So that is a short adventure in sprang. If you have any theories to share, feel free to comment. Have good day! EDITED TO ADD: Sarah Goslee gave us this link on Sprang_List, the yellow yarn kind of floats on the back side of the piece. Collingwood describes it, and see also here: http://www.angelfire.com/journal2/donisfuff/coptic.html Kelsey Museum of Archaeology - 202 Sprang Specimens To view click on link below, http://quod.lib.umich.edu/k/kelsey2ic?from=index;size=20;start=1;type=boolean;view=thumbnail;rgn1=ic_all;q1=sprang Whitworth Art Musuem, click link below and enter "sprang" in search box http://www.whitworth.manchester.ac.uk/collection/
