4 days before she arrived, Crystal asked if she could spend a couple of weeks with me learning how to spin Chilkat warp and begin weaving a child-size Chilkat robe – it was spur of the moment – holy moly!\u00a0 Okay, we’ll squeeze in a week before the arrival of Vanessa who is scheduled to arrive a week after Crystal.<\/p>\n
