i've been commissioned to do a large blanket (thanks beth and chris!) and have finally finished spinning the 6 pounds of yarn needed for the job.yay!
then i took about 2 lbs and dyed it various shades of red. I'm haphazard w/ my dying process so i'm never sure exactly what will come of it. its exciting when the colors are then right there in front of me cuz then i have an idea of what the piece is going to look like.the colors are actually different than the photo, a little more earthtone, a little less grapetone...damn camera...damn blogger.
and here in new mexico our fall season is defined by cottonwoods and aspens pretty much.down here at 6000ft, we get cottonwoods...
