This n That

Here are some skeins of Mulberry Sock, fresh from the dye room. My own 75% Wool 25% Nylon fingering weight. This batch was vat dyed using Prochem's washfast acid dye, colour Mulberry.

Double Whammy

This batch began life as hand painted Pears N Berries (from last week). I did several batches of that hand paint, then switched to vat dyeing and did a batch of Island Blue.

The Island Blue dye bath wasn't completely exhausted, so I threw in a batch of the Pears N Berries to see what would happen.

Now I know, and so do you!

More Gryffindor

This is another variation of Harry Potter Gryffindor team colour socks, in Cranberry and Toffee....my own 75/25 Wool/Nylon fingering weight yarn, knit to size Medium with the 54 needle cylinder on the Legare 400.

A Real Treat

We had a major treat at my church this past week-end in the form of violinist Emily Aquin, formerly of our parish and currently of Dallas, Texas.

I was riveted during all three services. Riveted. What a pure, beautiful and magnificent sound! It is so easy to make a violin look difficult and sound awful, and so hard to make it sound perfect and look easy.

I don't know that I ever knew what an angel sounds like, but I'm pretty sure I do now.
