Notes

My spouse's niece is pregnant.  Yes, the one I started the handkerchief edging for!  Let's see if I can get this done in time.  The christening is going to be in December.  I need to design, sample, and make the cloth in time for my SIL to make it.  Given that last week included a 20 hour work day, what are the odds?

Here goes!

7/11/09 I've received the color sample - a piece of the sash Kerri wore with her wedding gown.  I have a lot of 120/2 silk that is a close match, so that will be the fiber.  I've designed a huck heart pattern that my SIL says to use.  Now all I need is the loom!  That is supposed to be delivered in a couple of weeks, but I've asked if it can be delivered sooner.  I've never worked with silk that fine so I need to sample, sample, sample!

8/4/09 My loom is supposed to arrive tomorrow.  To prepare for this, I'm doing a series of samples.  The first will be a sash made out of Bambu 12.  It is only 6,300 yds per lb, but it has some slip.  I only got two ounces, because I question how ecologically same making it is.  I also got some 20/2 cotton that I will play with (haven't decided what yet) to work with a finer set.  I really want some cheap, fine rayon but haven't been able to find it yet.
