I am tired. I spent most of my time on the second day blending Angelina and Merino fiber. I bought the Merino a long time ago. I thought it was for a scarf for Kate. But now I realize that the fiber is for a hat project. Darn! I did think that there was too little of it for a scarf. Grrrrr! I’ll have to find the fiber intended for the scarf and card it at the guild meeting.

I took Tablet Weaving 102 with Michael Cook on the third day. We learned more advanced techniques. Double Face & Brocade. I got the basics down. But I still need to be able to see how stitches are formed. At this time I have to remember how many times I turn forward or backward. I can get stuck trying to remember which way to go next. Here’s the result from the second class:

I stayed behind after closing of the show to help take down Mariko’s displays and booth. Hard work. I probably lost a few pounds. But that is a good thing. :-)

So much to do at the show. We had a little area for “Spin & Knit”. Mariko even brought her drum carder for us to play with. But I ended up spending a lot of time trying to solve problems for a client. We had a DNS record update yesterday. Things usually get a bit weird for up to 24 to 36 hours when that is done. He was told, but he still freaked out! ARRGGHHHH!

At least I got to take the Tablet Weaving class 101 today. That forced me to get off the phone for 3 hours. The client’s “problem” resolved by itself by the time the class ended. The day ended good, but I am way tired. Here are some pictures of the day:

More photos can be seen here. I couldn’t take pictures of every booth. I’ll take some more tomorrow. Here’s what we learned today in Tablet Weaving 101:

I am still doing this by remembering the steps. I hope to eventually “see” what’s going on. Oh, and that’s an Inkle Loom that I am using for the project. Guess I’ll learn how to do that too. :-)
