I hope everyone in the US enjoyed Thanksgiving! We had a nice holiday and started decorating for Christmas today. It involved moving things around in the living room, and Cleopatra was a bit taken aback by the cat tree’s newest occupants. I may leave them there a while, just to see how long it will take for the cats to shove them off.
As many of the members who have been here for a while know, I do a lot of sewing, knitting, quilting and spinning yarn. Cleopatra is my usual helper in all of these endeavors, sitting on my lap under quilts or sweaters in progress and hanging out in the sewing room to test out all the tote bags to make sure she fits in them.
For the last 2 weeks, I have been dyeing yarns for a sweater. Dyeing is a newobsession interest for me, and I have been having a great time learning how to color yarns with food coloring. Today, I used food coloring to paint the last of 11 skeins of yarn, and they are all beautiful! Two skeins are drying, and the last one is still being processed but here are most of the yarns for the sweater, along with a knitted sample.
And this is why Marcus is NOT allowed to help me paint yarns.
