Too many hats
Where has summer gone? And what have I been doing?
I have had too many hats, and only one head, that's what.
We are trying to organize a fibre-optic net locally (this is what living in the boondocks means - having to "fix" whatever we want ourselves... sometimes it is ok, sometimes less so);
we (a slightly different "we") are trying to organize a small museum for glass, not exactly technology, but showing old-ish machines, such as a manual press, a pantograph and... (read more here, only in Swedish);
I have been working on a couple of web sites - and I have had big problems with my web access (up/downloads of files bigger than a couple of k tended to die).
I have also washed my old kilim rug. To do this I had to invent a drying rack, as this (like all rugs) get very heavy when wet. My contraption may not work for wider rugs, but here it is, anyway:
take two ladders and some string, tie them together along the long edges (short strings on top, longer at the bottom), add one or more pieces of gutter upside down:
Next will be a stint of sewing, and, perhaps, more blogging.

I agree -I have missed your historical posts. nice rug, by the way!
Do you know if Navajo weaving is the same technique as Kilim and if not, what is the difference? I am almost finished making a Navajo loom and looked up Kilim after seeing your rug--which is beautiful. Just curious!

Sorry, Jamie,
- have never seen a Navajo rug in person... but I think they are different. Isn't there a book called "weaving a Navajo rug" or something similar?
