The Gazebo

For the sake of showing off – here is the gazebo we built over the hot tub in December. I notice from the angle of this photo that it doesn’t look exactly square – but in fact it is. I’m looking forward to the spring when everything doesn’t look quite so bleak out back – and in particular have great plans for growing vines up and around this thing. The new gazebo gives us a lot more privacy anyhow – and really enhances the hot-tubbing experience!

The swimming hole. When it warms up later I'm going to give it a go. #catskills #summerliving
A cold creek on a hot day is the closest thing to paradise I know.
Airplane knitting. Turns out the shawl pattern I picked to start on this trip needs hella focus which was a perfect way to distract myself from a 5 hour flight from Vancouver to New York. #knittersofinstagram #kniteverywhere
Looking forward to starting this knit during my upcoming vacation. I love all patterns by @lilalu72 (Isabell Kraemer) and this merino/silk yarn from @smallbirdworkshop is spectacular. Perhaps I don't *NEED* another shawl but I don't have any accessories in this colour and it's about time! #knittersofinstagram #knitallthethings #textilestudio #knitting
The colour pallette of these chairs at the airport caught my eye today. Filing for future weaving or other textile combos. #colorwheel #comfortablechair #colorcombination #textilestudio
Handspun merino wool dyed with lupine three ways: bottom is a regular dye bath, left/center is shifted with vinegar post-dye, and top is shifted with iron post-dye. The cotton DMC floss I put in the bath took up almost no dye at all. Not the most satisfying but now I know! #naturaldyeing #textilestudio
A couple of lupine stalks broke off so I set up the summer dye kitchen last night to see what colour they might give me. I was hoping for a green but it looks like yellow (once the samples have dried I will share). Nice to get some plants cooking in the #dyepot in any case! #textilestudio #naturaldyeing
Cloth. #plaitedtwill #weaving #weaversofinstagram #textilestudio
The symmetry of unfinished bobbins... I'm going to have to put a plain warp on one of these days and weave all these off in some random way.... #textilestudio #weavingsamples #weaversofinstagram
A couple of small #mixedmedia studies I just glued into my #sketchbook. #textilestudio #textilearts #smallthings #sketchbookpage
This photo does not do justice to the colours of these yarns dyed by @smallbirdworkshop out of Nanaimo. A mix of wool and hemp, I'm looking forward to knitting this into socks and hoping that the hemp provides the sturdiness we normally find in nylon. I'm working on getting plastic out of my textile making bit by bit. #knittersofinstagram #noplastic #knitting #dyeing
I started this warp in March but covid and work stress got in the way. I am finally feeling a return to energy and back on the loom this week. I have 4 more towels to weave off after this one! #weaversofinstagram #weavingloom #weavingdesign #weaverfever #textilestudio
