debmcclintock has commented on closing down summer programme/equipment for sale:

Nancy, if you upload the equipment to a project folks can look at bigger photos than what shows up in the message space here, just a thought...maybe a project page for each type of equipment? and link to your original sell message. take care of yourself Deb

debmcclintock has commented on Rhinebeck anyone?:

To me it is a morph of Maryland Sheep and Wool, Stitches with New England vendors thrown into the mix. There are beautiful yarns for sale for both knitters and weavers. There are weaving tools. Not so many looms. There is a limited overlap of vendors from MSW but not many, you get to see more vendors from the NE part of the US. The color palette is different and there are more finished products. (I think that is a result of being so close to NYC but not too close) It is worth the drive and the entry fee to see the mix. If you are a first time person also make sure you make the tasting building, which is huge. All the northeast wineries, cheeses and other yums are there and you can get tastings or buy to your heart's content. If you have been there you will know that standing in the artichoke line is well worth the wait. Rhinebeck is also for people watching since the fall foliage is starting, temperatures are down and people have their handspun, handknit on in great glory. Keep an ear out for the fiddler contest. There are some young fiddlers that are amazing and it is a nice sit down while you get ready to tackle more buildings. It can easily be done in one day with a forced march thru all the buildings and displays. There are also 2 day passes. Book a hotel/motel/campground early. They do fill up quickly. I will miss this year and and I am sad. Enjoy Deb Mc

debmcclintock has commented on END OF WARP KROKBRAGD EXPERIMENT:

Heavy duty steaming with wet towels over the rug will settle it down but if you look at the rug structure the way it is constructed you are fighting a structural effect. Krok likes to curl, it is in its structure.....unless you get a perfect balance of warp/sett/weft and you know how hard that is! Your sample is lovely! Steam it!

debmcclintock has commented on Blank drafts:

Maybe I am remembering incorrectly, it seems like in the other system that the WIF's would display, I uploaded a wif yesterday and no image showed up. I went back and added jpgs and that showed up in the draft display. I thought that wifs did display in the draft function?
