Retired and spend my time spinning, knitting, weaving, dyeing and doing sundry other textile things. Also a voracious reader, call myself a Universalist, believe in all encompassing love, and am “concerned” for our future.

I’m teaching a class at Guild and need to do this. I failed finger painting in Kindergarten and have gone downhill since. I wonder if AI could help?🫣

I’m trying to learn. There seems to be a lack of communication between what my eyes and brain tell me what I need to do, vs. what my hands actually do.

Did this, including the sheep and mohair goats!

We lived on a 36 acre farm, which was about 1/2 wooded. I got a machete to hack through briars etc. It remains my tool/weapon of choice.

Hmm. The same method I used the last time!😁 It’s still gorgeous. Maybe I need to search for dyers here.

Beautiful! I’m a bit afraid to try indigo. The dye is languishing on the shelf. What method do you use?

Hi! Ditto on WIP socks. And the partially done sweater.
