i want to dye!

sounds like garbo, but now don't get excited and pay attention to the spelling.   i've not made a reputation for being patient. weaving has helped, but my patience is still not quite there.

the ph meter will be picked up on friday a long stretch by my count. it's also been raining, but i still want to dye.some test strips with good ol' faithful procion mx. also testing the cotton i recently bought, locally, no carbon print, and more than reasonable price wise. that's a record for materials and supplies are hard to come by here.

testing some itajime folds as a therapeutic measure.
