just can’t stop..

I like my new dyeing set up so much I’ve been playing with it everyday.  Up until now I’ve had to use the kitchen in the winter, moving outdoors weather and wind, especially, permitting.  Last weekend I finally just moved my stuff into the basement plant room.  It’ll have to leave when we have to put together a job, but hey, it’s portable.
Here’s yesterday’s addition.. Lily Pond.

It reminds me of the summer
days I spend floating on the raft amongst the  bright yellow pond
lilies.  They were so thick last year that C waged war on them , mowing
them with an underwater thingy that looked a lot like a hedge trimmer
on a long stick, as he paddled around the pond in the canoe.  Hard to
imagine, huh? 

The new Knitty is out.  If you haven’t seen it yet, there is a great little lace scarf pattern.  I think it could very easily be worked into a shawl.  I’m planning on trying it out as a scarf.  If I enjoy knitting it, who knows..  It would make a terrific gift.
