Dyeing! And the newly invented small purse kit
What can I say. I have spent the last two days dyeing. At first my husband was concerned when I said “I think I am going to dye today.” He couldn’t see the “e”. When he came home, there it was: spread all over the kitchen. Not soup in those pots. No way. Color. Lots and lots of bubbling color. Should be ready for tapestry/bead cuff kits in a day or so. We will also be creating silk color refill kits. See some of the results:

As I was weaving the new small purse kit for the next weave-along it struck that the purse was anything but small and it could take a really long time to weave it. So I cut off and started a new one, as is my way. This one is a couple inches less in width and hence will be less in height and we may all complete it in time for the holidays, which was one of the points. I am having as much fun weaving this one as the first one, maybe more because I worked out a couple of glitches. It’s interesting that the colors in the purse (it’s wool, not silk) look surprisingly like the silk colors above. I did not intend that. So here is a sneak preview:
