Grrrr…
I wrote a six paragraph post about the process of dyeing GM Ceiswyn’s lovely hand-spun yarn from this into this.
Then my computer locked up. I ain’t reposting it. Stupid Photoshop.
I take it back, Photoshop! I love you! Don’t ever go away again!
Also, I have Koigu for a shawl project I want to do. Right now I’m thinking these colors, in order from top to bottom (that puts the solid at the edges) in a shawl that looks a little bit like this but less lacy (I just flat don’t have the time, and the recipient doesn’t seem like a lacy person anyway). Whatcha think? I do have other colors I can sub in, mainly blues, and of course I can switch the order.
On the needles or about to go on the needles: Purse for my mom, purse for my niece, abovementioned shawl, booties for an expecting friend, tiny bowl out of Ceiswyn yarn. Then maybe something for me.
In other news, my wonderful Italian husband has just made a shrimp and pesto pizza from scratch – with basil from our garden, a crust made from flour, yeast, etc., our own tomatoes… the house smells incredible. Damn, I married the right guy. I go eat now.
ETA: Okay, that pizza was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth, and I don’t CARE how smutty that sounded!
