Workshops are an ideal opportunity for multiple Fails and public humiliation. My first in the series was a bobbin winding Fail. Because I was traveling from NYC to the depths of New Jersey, on New Jersey Transit rail road, I do my best to pare down the weight of my equipment and supplies. I will have to carry them and my 8 harness loom. I thought it economical to wind bobbins at home, leaving my heavy cones of yarn behind. Lacking enough bobbins, I used platic straws. The straws work well as long as you do not wind too close to the end of the straw, and you wind properly. Careful as I was, my yarn slipped off the straw and got twangled around the stem of the boat shuttle-hence Bobbin Fail
