I don’t know what was going on with me last night, but I just couldn’t get motivated! I got some laundry done and that was about it. No real knitting, no spinning . . . . I did manage (with A’s help, to make sachets to put into all the wool tubs. They are filled with Cedar shavings, rosemary, lavendar and several other wonderful, smelly, herbs to keep the moths away from my stash. However, I didn’t get them into the containers!! Thats how unmotivated I was!

M is back from her trip and we are plotting our dyeing day, just as soon as we can get Aand J over to the house! I’ve got pounds of stuff that I need to dye!!! I’ll be doing the wool for Mom’s shawl. We’re thinking multiple shades of greens and blues, dyed in the roving stage and then spun so the colors blur together. I’m working on a pattern for her shawl, but I’m thinking something along the lines of what I’m experimenting with now with the Alpaca, something with an Old Shale triangle as the base to have a wavy/oceany effect. and then perhaps something with a scallopy edge to it?

Tonight is all about finishing the laundry (is laundry ever really finished?) and I promised A that we could do manicures/pedicures (she’s been waiting since Friday!) so maybe once the paint is dry we’ll manage a bit of knitting! ;)
