I think I can I think I can

Note to self: when you half the amount of roving going into the dyepot.... half the amount of dye as well!

Here's how the latest batch of roving is spinning up. it's gorgeous, just shades and shades darker than the first batch. All will be well with the magic of plying though. I'm hoping to end up with a gradated effect in the finished sweater.




Also for your enjoyment, a soon to be plump squirrel, at least if he keeps hanging around my feeders.

Subjecting people to more garden pictures. We finally finished with the gravel. The blank back corner will hopefully be a fire pit and zen garden by the fall.
