Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Yesterday I pulled this, I think nutgrass, which I plan to try as a cordage material.
I think it's a sedge. I can't find any references to it as a material. All I can find is How to Kill It.
There's something wrong with obsessing about killing plants, I really believe. If it's invasive, don't lose your head and act as if it's a deadly danger. It's the deranged lawn lovers mainly. Lawn Derangers!
Anyway, I've hung it to dry and I'll try it out.
I haven't done any work on my little cordage basket recently, needing to spare my neck, but I'm between sewing projects so I think I'll do a bit today.
I ironed the muslin, which is three yards plus of 27" wide -- the other strip became the curtain lining in the bedroom -- so it will need some thought, about other fabric to go with it for a summer robe.
This is on hold, however, since I'm waiting for a Freecycle kind delivery this afternoon.
It occurred to me to ask for bedsheets, to use as fabric, on Freecycle, and I got a quick offer. The location is a bit far from here but they very kindly offered to deliver! Way beyond the normal you want it you come get it procedure. Arriving this afternoon, so we'll see what shows up. If they're well used, they'll be good for hand sewing.
Meanwhile, this year the Japanese maple has put on such a growth spurt it's casting enough shade to sit under.
Cool morning, the temp in the 60s, where you wake up early, open the window and draw the quilt up, to lie and listen to the mourning doves.
And here's a Sunday puzzle
Happy day, everyone, gardeners, too, don't get nuts over nutgrass!
