The only creative thing I've done so far this week, other than turn plump boneless chicken breasts into the best green chili chicken (thanks to the Hatch chilies I processed a few weeks back), is wind the thread I dyed for my 2023 crochet temperature project into balls.
I needed a new pale sage green (40-44 degrees), and I hoped I would not need any more maroon (80-84 dgrees). I was hoping to get gradients of both.
I love the colors I achieved, even though once again they aren't exactly what I was hoping for; I've got some great Christmas colors, and brown is always difficult, so now I have a good stash.
Thankfully, I have not needed any more maroon. I thought I might need two more greens and another purple within the next couple of weeks, but I have suitable alternate shades in my stash. So dyeing doesn't HAVE to happen again right away. Still looking forward to it, though!
Looking great! :-) When did you start?
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colors, and that is a great brown.
