Lynne has been fascinated with Karen’s loom ever since her first visit to Tween Creeks. Today she mentioned that she would like to try her hand at weaving. Since the loom was warped, that was an easy wish to fulfill. Now after a brief tutorial on treadling for a simple twill and a few spindles full of calypso colored chenille yarn, she’s well on her way to completing a beautiful scarf. Thankfully she has made plans to extend her visit one more day…
Our walking tour through the historic heart of Stavanger gave us insight into the canning and maritime industries that fueled this community as well as some tasty tidbits.
Our short visit to Njardarheimr gave us insight into life in 11th Century Norway and educated us on the role of “Vikings” within the Norse community of the time.
A stop at Ålesund at the entrance to Geiranger Fjord gave us a glimpse into life in and the history of a coastal city in Norway.
HA!, had me confused until I learned “warped” meant something different when referring to the loom/weaving and not the wood it’s made of.
