three good things:

1) i had a few chocolate chips about an hour ago and now i am frantically planning on cleaning and dying a fleece that's been in my garage since 2023. i have a wee bit of inspiration to dye small bits of wool in various colors and then use them for embroidery on another project that's been languishing for a while.

chocolate chips as instant motivation? maybe! i'm not sure how long this energy will last, but i'll take it. lol

2) i still have fairy lights in my front window and they are the special kind that flash along with whatever music is playing nearby. i may never take them down. sorry neighbors.

3) did i mention that i ate a very small handful of chocolate chips? because i'm not used to that amount of caffeine (or like, any caffeine, lolol) so i am kinda spinning my wheels here. but they were pretty good and i have now reached my caffeine quota for the year.

I've raided all the dyed roving and locks that I have to find something to spin! I'm afraid I'll forget how to or lose momentum and then I won't spin for a long time and for sure forget how! I'm trying to spin everyday for 30 days to establish habit.

Gonna make a bit of #yarn...

New late night #dye job.

Progress on the raw fleece to hoody project. Decided to finish the color work on the sleeves first before moving on to the rest of the body. This ensures the darkest color will match. I will alternate it with the next cake when closer to finishing the first. #WIPWednesday #knitting #handspinning #handdyeing

Here is the #yarn I recently got back from the mill. It's better suited to #crochet, I think. I'm going to have more sportweight/fine yarn milled next because I'm out. Meanwhile, I'm going to start #handdyeing some of this.
