I Dyed Last Night

I have to admit, dyeing last night was an act of shame! I put this yarn to soak in the acidic acid solution about a month ago! I watched the solution slowly evaporate, feeling guilt and shame each time I looked at it. It took all of 35 minutes to decide on, mix, prepare and microwave the yarn. I let it sit overnight, rinsed and spun it in the washer and now look, Isn't it pretty?


On a jounaling note:
Here is an older entry in my journal. I put a pen in both hands, did not look at the page and drew with both hands, letting my hands mirror each other.
I still makes me chuckle to look at it!

Which side were you thinking about the strongest while you were drawing?

I think I was drawing the right side predominantly. It is an old entry, though it would make sense, as I am right handed.

The yarn is lovely! Maybe you should "forget" more often!

The mirror drawing is interesting.
