I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m 66 years old. Seems like a lot of years. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m celebrating with weaving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This checkerboard piece got me weaving again last September after a break. I really wanted to try a design of squares. The weaving is very inexpert: wonky selvedges, lots of warp showing, wavering lines. The design is off center. And there was a dense forest of loose ends when I set it aside after taking it off the loom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was drawn back to it in the last few days and wove in all the ends. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s amazing to watch them diminish and see a flat weaving emerge. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve grown fond of its wonkiness through all the handling. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know if I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll stitch together the slits or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This joins the pile of little weavings. I inset one into a notebook where I make notes on fiber and weaving. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve mostly been warming the windowsills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/824aad14-f8b0-498d-b100-472f874571cd-28277-00001a8f4efa35a3_file.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/824aad14-f8b0-498d-b100-472f874571cd-28277-00001a8f4efa35a3_file.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/824aad14-f8b0-498d-b100-472f874571cd-28277-00001a8f4efa35a3_file-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my birthday!
