Keep the pluck

Finally it was to be a good, sun shinny day. Sixty degrees forecast. I woke to the sound of beating rain. Then it stopped and I went out for a spot of lovely sun. I admired the half dozen sprouting bulbs.

I came in and finished the little bit of weaving currently left, and cut off the towels from the warp,

which I put in the washer, and had my lunch. The rain returned with a vengeance, and the afternoon has not much changed.

I did have a lovely piece of cornbread for lunch; this enforced solitude has benefits.

There are three things I can talk about. The bit of weaving I took off is a partial tube of bamboo. I've used it as accent in weaving in the past. This thread slippery and shiny. I read it is 40% more absorbent than cotton, so why not try it as a towel.

But I won't be cutting this into towels, or anything. It is so slippery, it feels like a slip, back when they were part of my wardrobe. It is 17" wide and there are 3 2/3 yards, or 156". I won't make anything from it, it will be too iffy in these old hands.

I think it would make a wonderful tank top, or a shirt with a bit of swing at the bottom. What do you think? I will give this to anyone who would use it.

The second thing I did with the rest of my afternoon is try to sink my teeth into Instagram. As I said, this enforced solitude...! It's testing my pluck! I can see the benefit of Instagram, it's just getting there. I'm up to making a post; perhaps tomorrow. If you'd care to follow, it's: https://www.instagram.com/jnoragon/

And finally, I saw another comment on my last post, and its Mage! She's back. I hope everyone will get over there and say welcome. And that's enough said.
