My postings have been few and far between lately as we're still slogging away in our house. But my rules, so far, are that I'll do 10 days across, use only yarn bits and pieces from past tapestry wefts, mark each day of the month with the number in some way (leads to lots of spots toward the end of the month), and top each day of the month off with a color. I'd used a red-orange for January but now have begun February with a black pass as topper. I guess a new rule is to put an ending pass for each day of the month as a different color per month. At least, that's the thinking right now!<BR/>Just wove about 1/2" today for the 2nd, not too much time to spend but 2 is an easy day.Tommye McClure Scanlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816922767294739515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-9491098297994934432009-02-02T11:16:00.000-05:002009-02-02T11:16:00.000-05:00I love it!

Do you intend any other way of showing the next month - i.e. you have the number of markers match the date in many for January. Will you add something for the "2" of Feb? Just curious. It looks like great fun.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05932533858016149807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-2311254106595052672009-02-01T17:13:00.000-05:002009-02-01T17:13:00.000-05:00I clearly have not been keeping up with your blog ...I clearly have not been keeping up with your blog as I missed the start of this diary.

But this is more fun than making myself write: "I will weave every day...." 365 times! No, let me take that back... writing that might be fun, too!!<BR/><BR/>And, yes, Janet, it does not look like a cityscape. And that's pretty funny since I live in a small town where the tallest building is two stories high. But the changes that will happen as it gets bigger can lead to more specificity of like-ness... or can become more non-objective, I think. Just can't anticipate where it will lead because that will be breaking one of the BIG rules of this particular game--just going doing whatever happens each day.Tommye McClure Scanlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816922767294739515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-69084666056122318992009-02-01T00:43:00.000-05:002009-02-01T00:43:00.000-05:00Very interesting project.

Right now it looks like a city, but I think that will change as it gets bigger.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912129071129770715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-86400745176703048492009-01-31T16:54:00.000-05:002009-01-31T16:54:00.000-05:00if only i had your discipline, but then if i did i...if only i had your discipline, but then if i did i would probably make it even more controlled.
