a whole lot of nothing I was going to have this great post about all the yarn I dyed and carded and spun this weekend, but then? I got too into the dyeing part and didn't take enough pictures before it got dark. and started raining. sigh....

my living room, however, is filled with colors. bright colors! turquoise, green, lime, orange, fuschia! so much roving to spin! I did it bit by bit by bit in the trusty slow cooker.. man is it slow! I'm used to high-speed dyeing in kate's kitchen, with two large pot type things. and a slow cooker off to the side. With the ole slow cooker, every. single. color. got it's own cooking time, so it took quite a while. but colors! so pretty!! And it seemed to dye the superwash wool pretty well. (superwash is often a pain in the ass, with color not always saturating the way we want it to)

pictures next time it's sunny out?


in running news, I ran a whole 5 miles all by myself after sitting on my butt studying the past couple weeks. or, um, pretending to study? Exam was good, and running was great. But my chest, a couple hours after? heh... my chest is problematic in more than one way. not asthma-ey, but definitely coughy. Also? the bottom of my boob got chafed. the part that is IN MY BRA. not hanging out rubbing parts of clothing. ??? Argh. I don't get it. I will have to slather my parts in glide I suppose. Can't really do that one in the car, can I?  ¶ 17:31
