but without ray davies

those of you who came of age in the sixties will immediately recognize the pun.if younger you came across a venerable old man singing waterloo sunset during the closing ceremony of the london olympics.

pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone working with new to me materials. crepe wool presents challenges in warp and weft as well.

elections are over and life goes on.

and of life matters here. fancy a blue wooden floor?

dying to dye

but the weather is foul.have to revive the vat from last year as soon as the weather improves,no rain no storms. the white knit, a gift from a friend, will also get a kakishibu treatment. want to experiment overdyeing ai with kakishibu. or vice versa.
