AH ive been so busy. busy for summer, anyway.

for starters, the pieces that I made at Penland are now for sale at Diece Boutique in Federal hill. Yayayaya! 

The opening was last night, and I sold one! yay! the pink and white fulled double weave. To a reporter. the owner said she was going to put me in my article. im stoked, pretty much, duh.

school starts tomorrow! ah! 

Schedule, you ask?

Arts of Native America

And I got a job, finally. I clean rich bitch's houses. 

And I got a car, finally. Its a 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Sierra.  Yea. for the classy old lady in all of us. it was $750. hahaha.

AND Im moving back into the city in October! ah ah ah ah! my nightmare is almost over and I am becoming a real person again. 

Oopssss I missed my jury duty. 

so i found wool in my basement from freshman year felting...........

OHGOSH i just got back from penland today. this is only a little bit of the work ive made and the fun times ive had but:

ill just say how amazing catharine ellis and Joy boutroup are, how much tey know, and how much i learned in their workshop.

I watched a jaquard loom weave a piece of cloth that i designed and then vat disharged with a shibori pattern

made a double weave with wool and cotton and felted the wool,

made my first woven shibori (twice) 

and made my first deflected doubleweave (that i traded for a cool ring that my friend made.)

so 5 weavings in two weeks > 3 weavings in one semester.

penland is one the best things ever invented.

im going to Penland in 14 days for 2 weeks in north carolina! and im going to weave amazing things and its gonna be really intensive and great!

this is the justification i have for not doing anything besides knitting a bunch. so there.

Hi, my name's Dain. I knit socks exclusively for dwarves. 

and on the hottest days of summer,

i make cozy winter socks.

ijust realized i never posted this. its my spring weaving final. i kind of dont like i. because of the size, the fuck-up in the top right hand corner with the serger, 

and like, the "line quality." with pick-up, you draw the image as you weave, so when you do bigger images like this that you dont see till youre done, most people graph it out first. but like, raphing is boring and weaving is fun...=FAIL.

but i dunno. im confident enough in it to post it here, it might be part of my portfolio some day. i want to weave borders for it. idk.
