Monday again and I got the usual stuff on my agenda, updating my blog, combing and spinning. I still haven't got any reply from the spinnery.

Can't believe its already October. Today I had one of those days when you don't want to do anything, So I stayed in bed almost all day researching about anything that came to my minded really. I almost forgot that my fabrics from eBay arrived with the mail but remembered just before dinner, so after it I walked into town and collected those. The first one I am really satisfied with, the other one had some plastic fibres in it so it sparkles but to get 3m of fabric for about 100sek is not bad. Hopefully, the sparkles will disappear with wear.

I have now capitulated, the combing is numbing my mind I talked to my mentor, and she will let me use the schools cardmachine. Its harder to operate then I thought but I am getting better at it and it's so much faster.

Today I took a break from the tent as the MNT class hade a ¨do what you want and finish stuff day¨ and one of they were sawing a dress in the building I have my workspace in, so I sowed my touille on her sewing machine when she was cutting her fabric. You have to fiddle some then putting them together. And its note-getting easier with so much fabric in each leg, about 180cm in each.

After some research on youtube on a card machine, I pre carded some wool as they did not seem to use raw wool, as I hade earlier. I also learned that the speed I operate the drum carder on is crucial for a good resulted so I now turn the crank a lot slower then I did previous. On the afternoon I went out on a hunt for roots from Galium boreale. This brought me even closer to the understanding of why the red fabric was so expensive. Walking along the railroad we found about one hand full of roots in the two hours we were out collecting.

I woke up today with plans to be in the woodshop all day, but as plans often do they changed. Instead, I and a friend went on a walk that lasted almost the whole day.
