blue mis*chie*f

the resources one has to use when writing some words just to stop the sleaze from visiting!and to content google too. do you know that there are some words google does not like? some of them pretty innocuous. 

anyhow,this is about dyeing white handmade lace  and a windfall  linen hand towel and not google.

i was  thrilled to have finished weaving so i treated myself to a quick vat. hear hear in amazement after living so long in the realm of lack of successful vats!

there's something naughty about dyeing handmade lace. one of the small doilies was pristine white, but the other had yellowed a bit.the yellowed one came out somewhat darker. i'm going to keep dipping today aiming for a very dark blue.

while i waskeeping an eye on the vat and its contents  i remembered the windfall hand towel i had kept for years waiting for the owner to claim it.

it  was given a go too. maybe i'll re dip it as well.

and yesterday i read this. a methodology worth trying! any thoughts on that?

the changing of the light

light has gotten mellow.it finally has acquired  that honey quality that i like so much, the one that makes reds stand out.and makes you want to snuggle inside with maybe a cup of tea and a good read for sure.

the scarf is on its way to wet finish. i mean how many scarves can a girl have? thinking this one might end up as a vest of sorts. i'm not a vest person, but i'm willing to start trying.

today i'll be walking downtown to pick up some mercerised cotton cones in great colors. and hopefully start sampling in the afternoon.

the last leg of the weave

weaving on a table loom takes  a lot of concentration. and that is quite exhausting. although i have a feeling that it's a good exercise to keep that infamous german gentleman at bay. i'm really cranking to finish this one because i need to start sampling -hear hear Cally Booker- for a collaborative project which is on the back burner.

but i need some fun quick, before i wilt.

let's see what the weekend brings.

have a good weekend ya'll!
