the season has opened

doing it the japanese way and keeping more or less notes of the results.this is wandering madder which can be qualified as antique. used 85% wof but madder red is still elusive.it did improve somewhat by adding some chalk to the bath. doing the cold dye method over a week. the luster of the silk remains intact which is good news. we shall see.

terrible photo, sumimasen,  m(_ _)m

but after 3 tries the fouth one was sucessful.  thanks to alessandrina and im2track's tanya cunningham who provided insights to my woes  in the facebook group.

 no major issues except one of the selvedges.

now i do not get anxious when the display changes color numbers and i am far from the color changer 

and i learned bless them girls, what to do when i turn off the k machine.

this has given me a push to tackel a more complex project. the mythical backburner needs a second floor.
