Well, the headache comes and goes but it’s much better than a few days ago. It really helps me to eat Altu’s spicy chicken so I ate it for dinner again tonight.

Last night I dyed 9 colorways of Tip-Toe sockyarn and overdyed two 100gm skeins of Cushy ColorSport. Tonight I plan to dye a good number of sockyarn skeins in Seaside, my beloved best-selling colorway. By the time those go in to steam, I’ll be busy re-skeining all the yarn I dyed yesterday.

You should see the house, I have yarn drying everywhere! There are not enough sweater dryers in this house for all the yarn and so it’s hanging from doorknobs or whatever I can find. Pretty amusing, really.

OK, off to make Seaside again. Then rehearse, then skein yarn. And skein and skein. And print labels. And sleep? Last night I slept fitfully, had two odd-to-frightening dreams. I’m accustomed to sleeping well but this beautiful time of year is always hard on my system. This, too, shall pass…

Meanwhile I’m drinking in all the beautiful colors! I tried some new dyes last night, and I mixed a bunch of colors off the cuff that turned out nicely. This means I won’t get that color again even if I try, but that is the fun of being an artist, isn’t it???
