Cotton loom detail
Augusta's major industries in the 1800's were cotton trading and cotton mills, manufacturing cotton cloth. Today there are only two functioning mills left.
The threads in this Zeus crank arm were in really bad shape, so I made a steel insert. Fortunately there were enough of the original threads left to allow me to get the crank arm clamped in my mill vise and preserve the alignment. The photo sequence skips over a couple of failed attempts where I tried to thread the ID of the insert before I put it in the crank arm, and the insert just broke. The final solution was is to cut the pedal threads after the insert was glued in place. Yeah, I know that you can buy kits to do this, but that's no fun.
PTS6--OK Partner. What do you think about embroidery on your pillow? Are any of these colors calling your name?
My art is all about thread these days, black thread is my color of choice. I use it frayed, tangled and knotted...the more the better for the allusive texture I am always seeking ..I was up before the house woke and managed a quick stitch sketch true to my heart. #14/61 #icad2019

I've never really like the aesthetics of threadless stems, so I went ahead and had my steerer tube cut and threaded.
Whee, the perle cotton thread I ordered arrived! It's skinny stuff- it's size 8 or #20 US size, with a suggested hook of 1.25mm- but looks about right for recreating the vintage potholders I have.
40m each x 60 balls = lots of happy crochet time.
The thread took 2 weeks to get here. Not bad from Paraguay!
I've been working on something involving these colours (& others), and as you can see I had just enough left of these threads to finish the project.
The orange was especially nervewracking, I was quite sure I was going to have to unpick all my orange stitches and start over with a new shade of orange!
Blogged:
Today I presented my methods for thread drawing - using four different techniques for this simple piece - to the Harbor Art Guild in Hoquiam, WA.
I used four different techniques to create this image - standard lock-stitching on a home machine, darning on a home machine, fabric applique with fusible web, and hand-embroidery.
I have seen this today on the street. one woman ( not in the picture ) had a thread in her mouth and twisted it in a funny way around her fingers, she then used the twist to rip out all the little hair in that womans face, I think she shaping the hair above her eyes.
