Trampled by Geese is a reminder to myself to look at the positive side of life and to endeavour to only write about things that inspire me rather than focus on what is negative in the world. Kirkegaard once wrote, “Being trampled by geese is a slow way of dying, but being eaten to death by envy and greed is even slower and more painful”.

sample weaving with Ashford Tekapo 3 ply yarn
After such great success with the sweater, I've been weaving samples with the Tekapo 3-ply yarn. I've been experimenting with colour (not my forte) and treadling, to see if there is anything I like for a second sweater. This time, I think I'll make a hoodie.
These are all woven at 12epi. In many ways, I like the green, but it tends to be a little bit too bright. Maybe I'll tone it down a bit by adding more naturals to the warp.
This picture is highlighting the plain weave sections I did. If I choose plain weave, I think 10epi would be better.
