one idiot,two idiots

think i understand now why they are called idiot cords.totally brainless knitting.

but unlike an idiot this has a 

proven utility. i'm going to use it as 

a neck finish for this .

the tabard is already blocked and now it's just boring work, adding the cord and side bands by hand.

been working hard finishing stuff bcse i want to start sewing to use up the fabric stash. the landfill must hate me bcse i don't feed it.

pd. let me explain myself. when i say idiot i don't mean someone who lacks brain resources i mean people who having brain resources act totally brainless and believe the most absurd theories.and you're welcome to add more examples.

my love is like

a red red rose.... i love everything about monoprinting. the inmediacy, the freedom and serendipity, the layering  the fact that if it's minimally well composed it's a go,the fact that you can never overdo.

here's a third layer and it can still hold more

one more layer and it needs a spark

and unification.Dont tell me it's not fun and games.!

not in this lifetime

i'll be able to get lavenders or purples from alkanet. i always get browns or tans no matter how i process the dyestuff.had high hopes bcse i left the  raw material soaking in alcohol for over a week and the liquid was red, yet the outcome was camel color. ⋋__⋌

contemplsting ferrous acetate to darken it.

on the other hand i'm binge-knitting with silk bourette, as i have enough to last two lifetimes.

i can make all the mistakes,which i do, without panicking bcse i'll run out of yarn.

about the knitting program i love to hate, it's unbelievable that you pay a good price for it  and then you end up ignoring the program's directions and  figuring out the decreases yourself. HELLO? ಠ ಠ    ಠ ಠ    ಠ ಠ
