my fingers are all blue.

spent the day trying my hand at dying yarn. i should have bought some rubber gloves, i look hypothermic at the fingertips. the bluest skein i just dunked into the dye unadulterated, the others i sort of glopped the dye on and hoped for the best. there's a lot of dye left over, i kept it in an used vodka bottle. it's funny because now the bottle looks like poison vodka. this is just regular "kitchen cotton," which is good for dye practice because it's inexpensive and can be used to make useful things like washclothes. the paragraph was poorly written. that's what happens when i spend a day alone working like a mad scientist and watching questionable movies. more photos of my dying experiment over here, as usual.

Pretty blue. The lighter ones almost match your page background.

I can't wait to see what you make out of them...
