Tuesday 4 December

Ready to thread. Lace weave linen stripes with slubby supplementary warps dividing the sections. Just needs a little bit of time and a fewer phone calls.

Monday 3 December

Yarnaby has a swing.  I leave him to it an go to the opera - Otello from the New York Met (at the movies) - fantastic!  31/2 hours of wall-to-wall real music and dead bodies.  Try lying down across a corner of a set of stairs with head hanging down backwards, playing dead and singing like an angel.  Give Renee Fleming a medal.

Sunday 2 December

Here we go - a linen warp and an apprentice with no fingers! This will be a challenge.

Happy December!

Yarnaby starts his apprenticeship.  Let's see if he can count to 274.
