minx (n.) 1540s, mynx "pet dog" minx: a delightful word in which every letter begins on a flat fell with a serif— — at least when weaving from bottom to top. This, unlike the word: oops n. (colloquial); a mistake or error (from oops (interj.) "a natural exclamation" [OED] of surprise at doing something awkward, attested from 1933 (compare
Ya know, if next week you wrote about weaving the word "rocket" because you'd built one to soothe a yearning to traverse the moon, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.
oh my goodness the words the words. i hate selvage, it's selvedge dammit. and speaking of edges, my friend john green taught me that the edges are where the richness lies, the edge between field and woods, for example. anyway edgy people, even if relatively quiet and calm are the most interesting ones to know and love. i mean, they know about things like wild dress and four selvedges and kami-ito made out of an edgy material, which makes it ever so much more complete(ly) edgy.
Geeeting from a warm Rural place in Victoria Australia… again. I love the large spheres. I could see them in my back paddock and the alpacas playing with the orbs. What a beautiful thought.
Thank you for inspiring me both textile wise and general crafting. I grabbed a handful of fleece and walked to the front drive, using my newly acquired Walker and spun on a very small Turkish spindle. It was funny to watch cars slowing down as they passed, just trying to work out what I was doing.
I am so glad your vest brings you such pleasure! And I love all your woven words, especially ooqs! You absolutely need to weave make and mend, because oops goes with them, in my world! 🤣 I love your willow orbs! I had to look up willows, and how to grow them, and I'm intrigued. Also looking into woad! Sarah, you keep me busy! 🤣
oh how WONDERFUL the world of Terry Prachett and the lovely books he wrote!! yes, indeed the world is better with the humor of those lovely books! I have often wanted to do some letters on my new found copper loom, thanks for this lovely close up of some of the letters, i will start this in my next tapestry! :) Thanks for making all the edgy ness more understanding!
Love the felted vest and again word weaving, you bring me enjoyment 🙏💓
