treeskinKids fed, dinner in crockpot, me fed and medicated (yuck!), kids down for nap, and last pieces out of dyebath.
Total for green dyebath:
* 4, 50-gm skeins of formerly terribly turquoise sock yarn
* 2, 120-gm (-ish, wasn't measuring closely) skeins of formerly undyed sock yarn from a cone
* 2 chunks of cotton fabric, formerly sheets, one about a yard square, the other about 40" x 15".
The yarns yielded three nicely graduated shades of green, which will work nicely in the hat I'm contemplating.
The fabric pieces both turned a rather modern minty green, but I can overdye them another time with tea or coffee to a shade that fits the dolls better.
And now I'm settling in for an quiet knitting and an interview with David Suchet, about playing Hercule Poirrot. Yay for good radio!
