elanya at 11:43pm on 27/08/2017Today was a game day, and although the session was super great and engaging, I still managed to get a bunch of other things done! I think I just had a lot of nervous energy about things nd needed to putter.
I got two pots of dye done and two skeins dyed.... though they didn't come out very dark. I need to figure out what the issue is. Maybe I need to mordant harder? Mordant twice! Be more patient about stuff sitting in the dye?
IN one of the cases today I didn't want to because I accidentally used one of my iron-mordant tubs and I didn't want to screw up the wool if there was too much residue :(
I also read up some afterwards and I think I needed to be rougher on my black-eyed susans. The dye was not nearly as green as I was hoping for, and it didn't take up well despite the bath being super dark :/ anyway. I have two pale yellow/green skeins, at least, and one more skein to try out :)
I also baked banana bread!
And I am allllmost done the sleeves on the baby sweater for my cousin :3 then allll the end weaving an blocking, then final assembly.
Tomorrow I need to get cat litter and change out the kitty box, too. I hate not being able to do it on Sunday, but I also don't mind not doing it >.>
I've been keeping friends and folks in Texas in my thought - Harvey is a mess that only looks to get messier. Take care of yourselves!
