Corriedale Dreadlocks
I did some kettle dyeing last night using this method, but instead of painting, I just dumped it into a big pot. I used about 1.5 lbs of Corriedale and some Jacquard dyes. My method is totally unscientific (very unlike me), instead I went by the glug method.
Goin’ Mobile
The purpose of having a traveling wheel is …well…to travel with it.
I like to take my wheel to guild meetings and S’n’B’s, and up to this date I’d been wrapping her in garbage bags. Which was quite a hit to both of our dignities.
My friend Terry came to the rescue. A budding spinner herself, Terry is a gifted seamstress and knitter and crocheter.
Oh Joy …Oh Bliss …Oh Crap a New Car Bill
Our long suffering car “the starship Ramona” (aka the 1999 Neon) is on her deathbed. I’m not sure why I only take pictures of her in snowstorms or ice storms, but there you go. Her engine is in great shape because we maintain that with oil changes and tuneups. Body wise is a different story.
Catching Up
Well the total hours worked since Monday = 65. My hands are sore and I don’t think there’s much I’ll accomplish today so I thought I’d bring you up to date with my WIPS. All of these can now be considered part of the Knit from Your Stash pledge because believe it or not, I haven’t bought yarn since December!
