So I've been playing around with apple's new iCloud system and my iPhone and I opened my apple email for the first time in months, maybe years. I've been having password issues with my me.com email so I just have ignored it for the most part.
Shortly after I did this, I received an email from my apple email to my gmail account that just says "Files" in the subject line, and it had this picture.
It's a picture I took almost a year ago of a scarf that I wove for a friend. The yarn is this yummy Noro Silk Garden, and I thought the colors reflected well her fabulously colorful personality. It's my first attempt at a leno weave pattern, which involved creating a string heddle to help me 'twist' the warp fibers with every other pass of the shuttle. What that means is that I took some string and tied little loops in it exactly every other inch. I wove it under every other strand in the warp, and then put the loops on a dowel. So when I lifted the dowel, it created a different space for me to throw the shuttle through. Sounds complicated, no? Thank goodness it takes up a lot of space and weaves really fast, because it was!
Pattern: Leno weave
Warp: Noro Silk Garden
Weft: Habu Silk (see Win, I do use the habu! :))
The weird thing is, I have absolutely no recollection of putting it in my apple email. I don't even remember ever accessing my apple email and using it for anything, much less uploading cool pictures like this. And then this email appears to myself from myself.
I guess it's a sign that I need to post about it !
