So this is my newest spin. I will be on this one a long time since I am spinning it lace weight and then plying it. This is the Corriedale roving I bought and dyed.

Two pounds of it because I tend to get carried away, I also need enough for a sweater and the pattern I have in mind is a tunic. Shown here with Waddles. I think that my camera is about done for because the quality of the pictures are very bad. I don't have a phone to take pictures with. I know that I am an oddity.

These are some of the colors of wool that I have been dyeing with food coloring. It is not the best thing to use but my funds are limited and I don't have a lot of acid dyes which would be best. It's fun anyway and I am enjoying it, so I won't complain.

I finally go the hang of dizzing last night! I got the entire combs worth in one long strip! I shouldn't be so proud of myself, but I had that great feeling one get when everything clicks.

I finished this quilt, I am sorry the pictures aren't better. It was so hot and humid when I took the picture that I didn't realize the camera lens was steaming over, and all I wanted to do was get back inside. The heat index was 105 and the humidity was 97% that day. Ambrosina wanted the quilt because it is mostly blue and white, her favorite so I won't bother taking another picture of it.

Say good-bye to poor old Doris. We got blue book value out of her which I say is pretty good considering what bad shape she is in, and we were completely honest about that.

And say hello to our new-to-us 2003 Chevy Trailblazer, who has no name yet. Leon's parents have given her to us to use until we can afford car payments, and we are saving the money we got from Doris for a down payment. We were going to have to get tires for Doris this month and it wasn't really worth spending the money on her.

It's been a pretty good week. I have a doctor's appointment about my knee next week and hopefully they will decide that it's bad enough to replace now. The pain certainly feels like it! I might as well eat a piece of candy instead of the Tylenol I have been taking for all the good it does me, but I shouldn't complain about that either.

So now it's time for me to go check my dyepot, it's green today!
