This week’s craft segment is finally here! I wasn’t able to put aside enough time to spin up a decent amount of bamboo thread so I used some handspun hemp that I had laying around. It’s left over from when I first started spinning hemp, so it’s not the prettiest or most consistent, but I think it gets the point across. I included a picture of the finished bamboo rope from this Monday for comparison.
Running late with the class tonight. Very interesting presentation on adaptive relationships. No rope segment again. Don’t worry though, tomorrow is all planned out for a much more thorough review of the process.
I went over to a friends house to work on the bamboo rope, but I forgot my camera, so no craft segment tonight. I’ll probably set up a short run here tomorrow for picture purposes.
Only 4 weeks left until I get to head off to Shibaricon! I can’t wait. Should be lots of great classes, lots of fun rope work, shopping for more rope, etc.

This project was a culmination of necessity (the toy bag was getting a bit cluttered), materials at hand (what else are you going to do with a small uneven light weight kangaroo hide?), and being in recovery mode from Saturday (all I had to do was tie two knots). I hope you enjoy.
