in the loop

aka biting the dust.the two machine knitting gurus are in pinterest. their boards are encyclopedic and i used to get lots of information from them. as of this week you need to have a pinterest account to see the whole board. even if your're following their links. i have no intention whatsoever of pinning anything or anyone, i just want to see their boards. therefore i'm playing pinterest's passive aggressive game; i signed up because i was forced to, but from me they'll get NADA.

what if? what if?

i keep it to the minimum?

if i add puff paint?

if i create a white cluster with a wing needle to support the black mass?

then fill the empty space with more texture?

what iffing while the soy priming cures.

processing

the scarf was unwound, didn't want to try my luck. and there's going to be bad weather for the rest of the week;that means no vat until it clears.

the cochineal has lost some punch during the aizome so it needs further processing. here  it has been primed with soy milk which will be left to cure for a couple of days at least. then the cochineal parts will be painted over with cochineal ink. stay tuned.
