A few brief things, before I forget about them:
- The call for papers for Textilforum 2010 is now available. Workshop proposals are due by 15 April; the deadline for regular presentations is 2 May.
- A friend sent me a link for high-resolution tapestry weaving with images by various artists. The technology involved is quite impressive.

Hrim Schola was lovely as usual – one of the best chances anywhere to geek string. I taught my synthetic dyes for natural fibers class, and it went very well. Lots of interest and plenty of questions. The teacher brunch the next day is the best part. This year I spent more time helping other people find cool things. I am a research enabler after all.
When I left for Poughkeepsie on Friday, only the snowdrops were visible.
When I returned, there were tiny crocus leaves.
And daffodils.
And even tulips. But not the new ones yet… soon, I hope.
I think it might be time to plant peas and spinach this weekend.
* No, these are not a real product. I hope. But I’m reading a Christopher Moore book, you see… Or you would see if you’d read any Moore yourself. And if you haven’t, then maybe you should.
