It’s been oh so quiet… shhh, shhh….

Since I moved from the comforts of my basement, I’ve not had a ropewalk, nor a proper studio, so I’ve mainly just unboxed boxes, knitted and worked at my 9-5.
My life has started to settle, abit, and I’ve gotten more time and energy to do some fancy work and ropes. Luckily I have a father near by who also happens to be a ropemaker, so I can go there and play with his machines, which I had the oportunity to do this weekend! Jolly good fun, sure had missed spinning that yarn!
The shop is still opening, soon, but first I need to find a place to build my ropewalk at 🤔
Slowly but surely, one step at a time. Now it’s time to search and prepare for the upcoming season with merchendice!
Father borrowed his gun tackle, or luff tackle…. Or perhaps it was the double purchase jig…
whatever the name, I’ll try to set it up at home someday to make some rope for earrings, bracelets and fobs.

Did you know Samwise Gamgee was a ropemaker? 😍
Spoiler alert! From The two towers:

”To the complete surprise of both the hobbits it came loose. Sam fell over, and the long grey coils slithered silently down on top of him. Frodo laughed. ’Who tied the rope? He said. ’A good thing it held as long as it did! To think that i trusted all my weight to your knot!’
Sam did not laugh. ’I may not be much good at climbing, Mr. Frodo,’ he said in injured tones, ’but i do know something about rope and about knots. It’s in the family, as you might say. Why, my grand-dad, and my uncle Andy after him, him that was the Gaffer’s eldest brother, he had a rope-walk over by the Tightfield many a year. And I put as fast a hitch over the stump as any one could have done, in the Shire or out of it.’
Then the rope must have broken - frayed on the rockedge, I expect,’ said Frodo.
’I bet it didn’t!’ Said Sam in an even more injured voice. He stooped and examined the ends. ’Nor it hasn’t neither. Not a strand!’
Then I’m afraid it must have been the knot,’ said Frodo. Sam shook his head and did not answer. He was passing the rope through his fingers thoughtfully. ’Have it your own way, Mr. Frodo,’ he said at last, ’but I think the rope came off itself - when I called.’ He coiled it up and stowed it lovingly in his pack.
’it certainly came,’ said Frodo.”

Another wonderfull thing is that the Elves made magical ropes! 🧝🏻

What do you think happened? Was it Sams hitch that loosened or did the rope have Elvish powers? 🧝🏻‍♀️

Day well spent with Mikko Snellman at event in Turku.
We had people of all ages making rope and one event made their own thump mat!

Happily driving home with lighter car than when we came ☺️

The Snellman family visited Trömperi today where we made rope with people and watched Hanna very skillfully make rope through spinning the yarn, Antti Niemi make leather shoes, Sauli Rajala making yarn with the spinning jenny and Rene Alberi make shingle baskets.

This christmas the classical star knot became a pair of k**b earrings. Unfortunatly you can’t see the true color of the rope, but they have a pale nuance of lavender.

Yarn from Lankava Oy, Molla 6-strand Laventeli.
