365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Dizzybats!
Day 172: If this doesn't drive you dizzybats, you probably need better glasses! I am now up to the "fun" section of the undulating twill project for the April Weave-Along, "fun" because it is an optic white weft against black and dark grey warp. It so befuddled my eyes that I took to installing a little piece of yellow slicky-cord (nylon cord) at the start of each section so I could tell where one left off and the next began. Without it, my squares weren't turning out uniformly square. The single-throw motifs want to be longer than their heavier, double-throw counterparts, so I am having to pay careful attention to how firmly I beat the threads into place.
