Knots Conquered

Published by curiousweaver at 8:08 pm under Handweaving

This week I attended the Sydney Craft Show via a 10 hour bus trip for the day. It was an absolutely great day as I caught up with my daughters and our friends.The craft show itself was good but it was mainly a trade show. I went many years ago and it was full of makers of craft. Apart from a quilt show this year all the stalls were traders. This is a bit disappointing but I guess I’m a dinosaur from the past and have to get with it! Craft kits are on the rise and maybe I would have brought one if I found a weave one.

I didn’t realise that my knotty dilemma in my last post would attract so much empathy. Thank you. Knots are what we do sometimes and it does..hurt. I took a few photos as I wound and combed. Look at the end – almost neat and chopped off ready to go.

 Knotty mess.
 Looking better!

    Gorgeous! The end result will be worth all the untangling.

    Great to hear your knots are nearly behaving. Beautiful summer (at least over here) colors, though. And how lovely you caught up with your girls.
