Pasamo... with passion
We have moved to Pobiedziska in July and now we know that our belongings fit in 9 kangaroos. The largest item is undoubtedly the loom. We were worried whether we would be able to pack it, but here you go:
By the way, I have a certain reflection regarding the names of Glimakra workshops. Ideal looms would fit perfectly flat. My Standard looms required some tinkering, multiple rearrangements and stuffing… so standard 😉
On January 12, I received my diploma. The feeling of happiness at finishing my studies is irreplaceable and wonderful. I was returning from college with a backpack full of originals, copies and supplements, as well as flour at 54 gr per kg... Suddenly, the phone rang, interrupting my audiobook reading. It turned out that I had a job offer. And they say that it's hard to find a job after graduation. After some thought, I declined...

And the phenomenon: a complete lack of frustration from failures. A few…
I had another break 🙂 A very fruitful one 😉 I have Rękawka, a few private matters, and recently a May Day holiday in Biskupin. This is what my textile arrangement looked like: The photo was taken by Kasia, and her company made my time more pleasant – greetings 🙂 The photo also shows bagpipes and fiddles – of course they are not mine. Kasia plays old…
The starting material for the dyeing game was a piece of white linen cloth and a linen thread called twine. I measured a circle with a plate, cut it out, hemmed it and rubbed it wet with alum. I bought alum a long time ago in a chemist's in the form of deodorant. I think asking here what I dyed it with misses the point, since the photo clearly suggests that...
In the shop: – Are there any cotton tights… or woolen ones? As long as they’re without “plastic”. – They are. The lady shows me. I feel them. – What are they made of? – Acrylic. – But I didn’t want “plastic”. – Acrylic is not plastic. – O_O – Acrylic is wool. – Aha… and from which sheep?…
