the indigo vat is still bubbling away down there, so i've decided to let it do it's thing, and i'll attack on monday and start making it work. for now, i thought i'd show you a picture of a little 'extra-curricular' project i just finished - this teeny little sweater for my nephew's first birthday.
the school i go to twice a week takes me almost an hour an a half to get to, so i use the time for knitting. the colours here aren't dyed by me, it's spud and chloe yarn i bought when i was in chicago. but it's funny, not only did i unwittingly choose the colours of the soccer team where my nephew lives in france, but i also just realised the other day that the colours are similar to ones i have in mind for a seperate, naturally dyed project i've had in my mind for a while - a project involving some indigo and madder.
have a great weekend and i'll be back on monday with some actual dyeing.....

ReplyDeleteBy the way, that throw that Erin has that you made, with the squares? It's amazing! I spent New Year's Day watching movies from under it and admiring it.
