Friday Read

 

I had already renewed the library ebook twice but after six weeks I was only halfway through.

 

 

 

I borrowed the audiobook and finished the rest of the book in four days.

A Break in Pattern

 I cut the Log Cabin towels off the loom on Monday,

 

 

gave it a nice hot bath (with a Color Catcher),

 

 

 but as I was admiring the towels,

 

 

I noticed irregularities in the all-over Log Cabin pattern,

 

 

many floats, many skipped threads.

 

 

So I got my pins

 

 

 and marked each float

  

 

and repaired them.

 

 

After hemming the towels I will give it another nice hot bath.
