They don&#8217;t do a whole lot of damage, but they&#8217;re ugly. Crabapples are one of their favorites.

I first talked to the reenactor last fall, and followed up in late winter, when I offered to make a striped sprang sash for him. I <i>did<\/i> tell him that it wouldn&#8217;t be quick, but I didn&#8217;t think it would take this long.<\/p>\n<p>I dyed the yarn in January, and warped up in February. The first time. I&#8217;ve started, taken it apart, redone the warp, and so on. Repeatedly. It&#8217;s not that sprang is so hard, even on a circular warp, but I&#8217;m trying to get a particular result, and haven&#8217;t been satisfied with the beginnings so far.<\/p>\n<p>This time, I think I&#8217;ve got it. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stringpage.com\/blog\/photos\/sprang1-20090430.jpg\" alt=\"Sprang\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tension is even, warp is smooth, and I got a few inches done. I think I&#8217;m finally happy with it, so now it should go quickly. The process is pretty fast; it&#8217;s just the fiddling and perfectionism (and lack of time!) that has caused the delay.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stringpage.com\/blog\/photos\/sprang2-20090430.jpg\" alt=\"Sprang\" \/><\/p>\n<p> I&#8217;m taking notes, and will write up the whole process when I&#8217;m done, but I want it to be a complete article rather than lots of pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is chill and raining, but I have photos from last weekend for you.
