<\/a> <\/p>\nBob is leaving today to sail our boat to Annapolis with a crew. I will pick up everyone (including Bob! \u2026since he\u2019s working in his Manhattan office and will take a train to CT, where the boat is waiting) at various train stations on my way to the boat with provisions later today.<\/p>\n
I will then have four days on my own in which I hope to get a good amount of spinning done, spin and weave with a couple of friends, finish weaving a scarf that\u2019s been on my AVL for a year<\/em>, and make plans for my next tapestry. As long and slow as tapestry weaving is, I think deciding what<\/em> to weave is the slowest part of the process!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"> In the midst of chores today, I am making a safflower dyebath in which I hope to dye a knitted sock blank yellow and then a silk scarf blank coral!

<\/a> The first safflower soak is taking place here. Great golden color, isn\u2019t it? The safflower is wrapped in an old handkerchief. After I get all the yellow out of this soak I will use this bath for my sock blank and start a new bath for the pink\/coral I want for the silk scarf blank. I\u2019m following Jenny Dean\u2019s recipe which recommends making the second bath alkaline with soda ash. I may also follow her further directions to bring the bath back to acid to get a pinker coral on silk. More photos will follow!<\/p>\n
