Summer time blues


The weather has been crazy. It rained almost all day yesterday. A portion of our street flooded beacause we had this huge downpour that lasted for almost a half an hour. I should have got a picture I didnt even think about it. I live in a part of washington state called the Columbia Basin and it is actually desert. So we dont get much rain and the temp. is usually blazing by this time of the year. So far the weather has been very mild.

I am going to go to my yarn store today and get some white cascade 220. I have been experimenting with acid dyes and I love the results. I am going to dye yarn for some socks and see how it turns out. I need to find out if I can get a sock yarn that is white. . I am hand painting then putting it in a plastic container with a lid on. I then put it in the sun for a few hours and voila its all dyed and pretty. This is a pic of my first handpainted that I did on Monday.
