I needed a hat; I lost my favorite on the last North Carolina trip.

This is the Evergreen I dyed a couple weekends ago.

I do like knocking out hats during meetings.

I motivated myself yesterday to dye a little.

Motivation is really hard lately.

Here’s the little piece I was doing at home. It serves no purpose.

One week till weaving school! In the meantime, playing with this little toy.

I motivated myself a little bit this afternoon to start a warp to practice checks, which is what my next project at Weaving School is supposed to be. What the heck was the cutesy name for it again? Oh yeah, cherryderry.

I will go out on a limb with my prediction here: 2022 will have both good things and bad things happen.

Below, my Wintery Colored Fair Isle Hat very much in the (over-) planning stages. Only the one color dyed so far. On the fence about whether to squeeze out another color this afternoon. Dyeing is quick, but the cleanup is a pain.

I found time to dye an ounce of yarn yesterday, after we did most of the goat herd hooves before lunch. I’ve had this idea lurking of making a fair isle hat using the colors of winter – blues and browns, evergreen & white. This is ProChem Wedgewood I had lying around. Haven’t used ProChem in years.

I got enough of this to allegedly make a sweater. It’s 42% “Superkid” Mohair, 40% Nylon, 18% Merino Wool “Extrafine”.

“Superkid” may or may not mean what we in the biz call “first clip.”

Or it may mean a kid like my baby Ramona, who is so super!

I just think start-to-finish photos are so much fun.
