It's not that my mind is racing with all the worries of the world that keeps me up at night. Instead, it's like I have a broken awake/sleep switch. It's a lot like JetLag, and it doesn't help that pesty daylight savings now lasts until November.
In some ways insomnia is soothing. Instead of lying in bed not sleeping, I get up and do something that is just for me. It's really nice having the entire house to myself. During the summer I did a lot of wool combing.
Winter is for weaving.
I had a bunch of warp left over from the other day, so I tried my hand at some Saori weaving techniques.
If I were the kind of person who named my projects, this one would be called Symptom of Insomnia.
I don't have very good light, so I ended up choosing colours that I probably wouldn't have choosing in the daytime. But I love it! I was going to put it into storage, but now, I am thinking about sewing up a couple of hand bags from it. If only I could find my blasted inkle loom to make a strap for them.... maybe I could learn that Japanese braid thing that everyone in the Guild was doing last year...

So sorry that insomnia is back. You're clearly making the most out of it, but still, it's no fun.
This fabric will make fabulous bags!
