If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person. It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit. – William J. Clinton
Last week I shared that I had made several mistakes in a weaving project and my decision was to go back, fix the errors, and begin again.
Now here it is Monday and I am happy to announce that I fixed the problems – it was not easy, but it was not impossible! I made the errors because I over thought the threading pattern and the process.

Up next, a quiet Sunday with some meditation, reading, and knitting.
It’s my time to recharge for the week ahead. My hope is that today will do the same for you. Happy Sunday, Gentle Reader.

Or…
The hurrier I go, the behinder I get – Lewis Carroll
Last week, I beamed my warp (weavers speak for winding the warp threads on the back beam). This week, I made a valiant attempt at a tricky threading of the heddles. Attempt being the key word.
I made multiple threading errors that I should have noticed when I did my few picks of plain weave. Again, please take note that I said should have.

One week ago, my burning bushes were ablaze with color…
Now only a few leaves remain and the rain is doing everything in its power to knock them to the ground.
Yet these few blaze on.
Determination is a powerful thing.

It was had a fabulous year at our farmer’s market and add to that the abundance that was our garden this year and that makes lots of good food!
Sadly, Saturday was the last day our favorite farmer will be at the market and we will miss him but look forward to June when he will be back at the market again! However, over the past weeks, I have been stocking up on winter squash, pumpkins, onions, and garlic. We were gifted a huge bag of apples, which will be cooked this week. However, the big winner was the 50 lbs. of potatoes that we got for practically nothing.
Yes, you read that right – 50 pounds – which is A LOT of potatoes…
When life gives you potatoes, the only thing to do is to make some hearty potato soup!
