The post sent earlier came without all of the photos that made the upcoming issue of the newsletter so enticing. This led to an hour and a half of troubleshooting, and chatting with the web hosting agent, trying to figure it out, and ensuring that everything is backed up before updating the plugins that might be the culprit in the missing photos. All this, of course, when I should be chained to the tapestry loom.

So, apologies for the incomplete post. If you click on the title of the summer news message, you will see the message and photos online. 

To see if the problem is solved, here is a photo from a clip of a YouTube video from a Prairie Public Television show,” Scandinavian Traditions.” (If you don’t see a photo below this paragraph, I will be very annoyed, but go back to weaving anyway, for now!) The show included a short piece featuring Katherine (Kay) Larson, author of the wonderful book, The Woven Coverlets of Norway. See Kay talk about some wonderful textiles in a minute-long clip here.

Besides her talent as a researcher into Norwegian textiles, Kay is a major reason that the Norwegian Textile Letter gets published! She is the perfect editor, a wonderful and enthusiastic sounding board for ideas, and careful translator. Tusen takk, Kay!
