antidote-finished

the stitching noise  antidote is finished. another good news is that today is the first sunny day in weeks. the bad news is that it's hot. the good news is that i started warming the ai vat for  dyeing.

looking forward to some dyeing before september comes. you never really know with september it can be cool and rainy or very hot and dry.

on another note i decided to close my artfire storefront so do check it out before the end of the month when i'll take everything down. see if you like anything. hint,hint.

in shape with the beatles

taking advantage of the cloudy cool weather-no ai- i've been learning how to shape garments with the k machine.geezz the problem comes when the instructions say now do thee same from left to right or right to left.for a mild dislexic it's hell on wheels. i also think i'm missing a line of instruction because the numbers don't work out. i figured if i'm going to knit a garment the instructions will be more specific then decided not to bother  flipping everything, including my brain,  and doing the other side. 

 time will tell.
