Monday again and First of December is getting ner, slowly I start to feel the pressure to finish this weave until the new year. Unfortunately, I got really dizzy today, almost like I would pass out so I spent most of the day in bed.

Last days a huge amount of rest gave me newfound energy and today I really got the weaving going.

Today started with a dilemma, I found two pins on the side that I use as markings for different things. The thing is that I could not remember as they hade the same colour on the head, so I picked one out and the other one I decided where for where I started with the latest batch of bobbins. I have now switched those out for one with a blue head for the bobbin baches and a red one for where I start weaving each day. We and by we I mean my class got a visit from the textile class today to talk about our projects. It was fun.

The most exciting thing that has happened so far today, is that there was a lecture on Viking textiles. I found it quite informal and refreshing with the change of scenery from that I have in the basement.

Started the day by oversleeping, not the greatest start but I quickly picked up speed and wove a good amount. I also hade a class meeting where we discussed things about the warp-weighted loom again, it seems like it is a topic we can't get enough of. I also had my first contact with Kool-aid today, not in the way you might think thou. I dyed yarn with it. It was really simple and scary how this is feed to kids. To dye with it, just slowly raise the temperature of the yarn as you should so it doesn't get shocked. Then mix the powder in a mug with boiling water and stir, pour it over the yarn and then top it with hot water and run it in the microwave for 5min then flip the yarn and run it 5 min more. This proses can be redone as much as you want, it's for fastening the colour. And to see what colour each flavour gives look at the glass in the corner of the pack.

As
I look on the Kool-aid page I see that there are some powders with
sweeteners, stay away from those get unsweetened once.

I totally lost my motivation today, don't know what happened. At dinner, I got told that they were continuing with the musical marathon today. So I went over there with the intention to finish my leg wraps but fame was not a movie that I could do stuff while I was watching, at least not things I had to concentrate to so I did some sewing on my pants and now I only have to wrinkle the legs and fold the seams and am done.

I did not weave today either, didn't feel to god, to be honest. But I think I will weave up what I have missed this weekend pretty fast.
