My first California earthquake
I was sitting on the sofa, watching something I’d recorded on the dvr, when the dog bumped against the back of where I was sitting. Then she bumped it again, much harder. What the hell is she doing back there? I stood up to see just what she was doing and saw she wasn’t anywhere near. That was when I realized I was experiencing my first California earthquake. Only lasted a few seconds and nothing was broken, though I did hear the glasses rattle in the cabinet. MIL called 6 minutes later to make sure I was okay. I think those people are glued to the news 24/7.
Despite not actually doing any knitting or weaving, I’m still buying magazines and making plans for future things. Because we don’t have enough crap around here, I’m considering building an inkle loom or something similar to do card weaving on. I don’t like the belt method, or at least I don’t think I would. I want something I can warp and walk away from if I need to. I’ve been using pegs clamped to furniture but I don’t like doing that either. If anyone has any experience on card weaving on an inkle or something similar, I’m all ears. Off to research…

Well, that would officially scare the crap out of me!

I’m glad you’re okay! Maybe the earthquake shook all the nasty snakes out of your yard.
Good luck with the loom research.

Woo! You survived your first CA earthquake! Not so bad, now was it? It lasted longer here, but, as long as there’s no damage or injuries, I kinda think they’re sorta cool.

So you’re not an earthquake virgin any more, eh?
I’m VERY happy it wasn’t serious/damaging!
