Mali tkalac i predac / Busy little weaver and spinner

Ne znam kako je vama, ali meni vikend nekako proleti na brzinu, i uvijek ostane nešto nenapravljeno. U planovima je bilo započeti veće, kompliciranije, tanje i interesantno tkanje na velikom tkalačkom stanu, ali od svega je ispalo da sam jučer napravila tri ili četiri manje kape da potrošim i ono malo rozaste vune u dječje kapice, a veliki je tkalački stan prespavao. Danas ništa od tkanja jer je naš mali gost bio oduševljen tkalačkim stanom, pa kolovratom, pa onda natrag na tkalački stan, i tako naprijed natrag sve dok mu nije došlo vrijeme poći kući. Da ne ispadne da ovaj tjedan nisam ništa pisala, a znam da dugujem slijedeći nastavak o tkalačkom stanu, evo nekoliko slika malog petogodišnjeg tkalca, mog velikog pomagača.

Well, the weekend is almost at its end, and despite the plan to warp the loom and start working on a more serious piece of weaving with the thin home-span silk on 8 shafts, I did not manage to do it. I did manage to make three or four small pinky girly hats yesterday and have finally used up the pink wool. I could not get to the loom and the spinning wheel this afternoon since our little visitor was rather excited about trying it all out. First the spinning wheel, then the loom, after a while back to the spinning wheel, and the couple of afternoon hours passed very quickly. My little helper was so very excited about it all, as you can see on the pictures.
