I've let a long time pass without posting! I get easily overwhelmed, is the thing, and this sudden birst of inspiration and life has translated into many projects I've tried to tackle at once, a full rehaul of my life, several websites brewing, and of course more crafting than I can actually tackle along everything - especially with a heatwave and the world cup upon us (yes, I watch football!).
Anyway, to catch up somewhat with color week,
...here is the (off)white i-cord I knitted yesterday from a single-ply ball of pure wool passed on to me within Mom's stash - which is to say, I have no clue when and where this was acquired, but you can be sure it is in some way "vintage" wool.
I felted it today, simply threw it in the wash at 60 [celsius] degrees with a pair of jeans, and it shrunk from an overall length of 350cm to barely 305cm.
Now I need to procure the necessary veggies to attempt some more natural dying. So that's it for Monday White... Before the rope becomes safran Yellow or some kind of orange (I have high hopes).
And for the Thursday Blue, here's a better picture of the blue knitted necklace, which I am still so happy with that I think I'll enter it at whiplash for the "recently completed item" thing they have going on for the month of June.
I'm slowly entering this online world of crafting goddesses, delurking and so on. I've started an overhaul of my Flickr account and I'm well determined to using the service fully from now on, probably paying for a pro account soon. I'm ogling better digital cameras than my 4 years old tiny one: it's very sturdy, and I like it a lot, but it has no macro mode... I have no money for that right now though. Dreams for later! First I need to blog more, among other things. It's a very exciting time...
