Today after work, it was
Day 2 of my rigid heddle weaving class at
The Weaving Shed in the town of West Boylston.
After spending some time on my homework yesterday night, I was ready to go for my second round. Before that though, it was dinner time at
Il Forno, an Italian chain restaurant in town. This place is decently decorated, with a family style feel to it.
The garlic bread starter they provided was pretty good,
while the salad they provided with my Tortellini Alapana (Shallots, ham, peas in an Alfredo cream sauce) was just so-so, as was the meal itself, with a lot of tortellini and sauce, but little ham and peas.

To try to salvage the situation, I got the Berry Creme Brulee (A layer of raspberry sauce topped with a creamy custard, topped with mixed berries coated in caramel) for dessert, and although it wasn't too bad, there wasn't anything special about it.
At the weaving place, we were told to sever the warp strings of the work we had done the last week, knot the ends to the top of the weaving line, and start on a real, new project, using the fabrics and colors we preferred.

Along the way, we also learned how to correct various mistakes we might have made in our weaving, like broken warp strings, misses and gapping.

With that, we started on our new scarf project, to be finished at home by next week. This was a pretty quiet end to a fun day of ballooning which I did
this morning, but then again, I was already exhausted from having woken up so early anyway.
