dyeing to dye.
I am sitting listening to natasha and barbe's podcast. the first one i've ever listened to. and i love it. i would like to declare my blog, as well, a no bitch zone.
city college really brings out the weirdoes sometimes. it's like a full moon 24/7 'round here. there is a lady sitting here typing with one finger, but feverishly. i'm pretty sure she does not have a full set of teeth. i'm imagining her writing an email to her ex-husband and his new wife in their new double wide trailer. sometimes i forget i'm in california because it seems more like tennesee. and i went to the flea market when i went to the south, so i'm familiar with such folk. there is also a girl sitting across from me with the worst acne i have ever seen. no exaggerations. i just feel bad.
i am going to write a paragraph about dyeing without using the "dying to dye" pun (again). it's killing me, but i must resist! anyway, since the new knitty came out, i have wanted to dye things. i never really had any serious interest in dyeing before. kool-aid dyeing seemed pretty cool but i have never been into it enough to actually get down to it and do it. but this article makes me want to make pretty yarn myself! especially using the dip-dye method. i almost bought dye at the craft store this weekend. twice. but i resisted. i've got so many projects i need to finish before i start something like this.
the mental picture of crotchless over-alls ... my god. i guess i have been missing out on this whole podcast thing. maybe i will get into it!
i have a ton of pictures from st. pat's day and craft supplies, and some decoupaging! finally crafting that is not needlework! i just have yet to upload and describe and tag them and all that yet. soon!

thanks for the kind words! i am so glad some people like it. barbe wants to make it shorter because she thought it was tooooo long. so it will be 30 minutes max, although maybe we can do em every week then. i have on my gross dyeing overalls, but indeed they are not crotchless. it would be really gross and difficult to position it correctly to show anything other than my legs, as that is where the crotch hangs. hee.
as for dyeing, i do shannon okey's dishwasher method with a bit of alteration which i posted about, although today i did it with a whole bunch of containers in there either wrapped in saran or covered in grocery bags. i swear, it is soooo easy. or you can just steam it on the stove in plastic wrap and a colander. easy.
