dye dreams skip to main skip to sidebar dye dreams musings woolgathering color sunday august 1 2010 que sera sera stephanie wrote i have childhood memories of doris day singing que sera sera and my own mother singing the song as she washed dishes and folded clothes while i ve been known to treat my kids to a couple lines from the song i try not to notice when they roll their eyes and hope that someday they will appreciate the sentiment que sera sera whatever will be will be this is my mantra life is short and unpredictable while it s human nature to want to know what lies ahead the future s not ours to see and that s probably for the best it is with fond memories and an eye to the future that i say good bye to dye dreams the time has come to close this chapter in my life and start a new one i ve enjoyed meeting many of you online and in person at events across the country it s been an honor and a privilege you can follow my new adventures here que sera sera posted by stephanie and mona at 9 11 pm 3 comments monday july 19 2010 running around stephanie wrote for some reason this summer has been far too hectic i keep hoping for some lazy days but instead i m coordinating various schedules juggling too many balls my front door has become a revolving door for family friends visitors and total strangers the parade never ends i must confess that my knitting obsession right now is a wool cardigan i plan and plot to knit a few rows here and there but it s never enough to satisfy me the sweater has gotten big enough that it s no longer portable and is a stay at home project and really who wants to sit with a lap full of heavy wool this time of year note that last month was the hottest june on record and yet the sweater is a magnet calling me to work just a few more rows just a few more inches too much running time and not enough down time has had a serious impact on my knitting since many of my projects are not good for on the go most of my knitting time has been spent on herbivore ravelry link almost mindless easy to pick up easy to put down when i reached the suggested size for this shawlette i decided to keep going until i used up all the yarn there was a point when i was working the finishing rows that i thought maybe i had gone too far maybe i wouldn t have enough yarn for once my calculations were right on all that s left is the blocking this is the time of year to enjoy the farmers market going to market is part of my weekly ritual i never skip a week hot fresh pie from the oven and to go with the pie coffee with a layer of ice now before the day gets too crazy time to work time to wind posted by stephanie and mona at 8 48 am no comments labels herbivore wednesday june 30 2010 time to twine stephanie wrote the heat is on and i ve become a nomad in my own home i have the misfortune of having my work space in the hottest part of the house the uppermost level that due to funky wiring and poor construction cannot accommodate any form of cooling the heat coupled with the humidity has a definite tropical feel we abandon this part of the house during the summer months i find myself wandering about with a skeleton of my desk laptop several file folders and a couple of pencils i roam about in search of space where i can set up temporarily and do some work the dining room table is ideal when it s not covered with dishes and or clean clothes the recliner works in a pinch and i can sometimes incorporate a power nap even the kitchen counter is inviting if it weren t for the steady stream of food seeking kids when all else fails i have to head out to the library or local coffee shop i miss having my own space in club news the summer mitten kits shipped recently and the kal starts tomorrow on our ravelry group beth brown reinsel designed a two color twined mitten for this club installment twined knitting is a scandinavian knitting technique that uses both ends of a center pull ball wound and ready to twine in recent wanderings i stumbled across these lawn sculptures what a fun way to brighten up the yard propeller flowers posted by stephanie and mona at 8 04 am 2 comments labels beth brown reinsel twined knitting monday june 21 2010 it s official stephanie wrote today marks the summer solstice the official start of summer for those of us in the northern hemisphere for many the solstice is cause for celebration with all manner of festivities and time honored rituals this is the season to worship the sun and there s no better place than taos new mexico in the spirit of all things solar the taos solar music festival will be held this coming weekend the festival boasts a solar village and great music all in a spectacular setting there s something for everyone with a line up of musicians that includes robert mirabal los lonely boys jakob dylan and everything in between fun in the sun the beginning of summer is motivation for me to finally pack away winter coats and boots maybe i ll even replace the winter scene on my computer desktop with something more seasonally appropriate while i don t have much knitting progress to report the week ahead will be one with lots of time spent waiting and knitting there are new colors coming out of the dye pots always trying to stay one step ahead of the current season and goodies coming out of the oven chocolate chip scones a favorite any time of year posted by stephanie and mona at 8 28 am 1 comment labels taos solar music festival wednesday june 16 2010 scattered stephanie wrote this time of year can be crazy busy the calendar is full of extra parties celebrations commitments and obligations we really should attend this can i fit one more activity in our schedule constant juggling never enough hours in the day is this the price we have to pay for the relaxed playful days of summer as a result i feel like this scattered puzzle pieces we are on a serious puzzle jag here everywhere i look there are puzzles completed puzzles because once you ve put in all that time and effort you can t bear to take them apart and puzzles in progress flags of the world in 1000 pieces this morning i woke up and vowed to regroup and take some time for myself time for this coffee is the elixir of my life beer is in the same category but i save that for later in the day isn t this mug funky it s one of jennie the potter s creations time for this this is my third time knitting holidazed and i m determined to keep this pair the light shade is out of my usual color comfort zone but the yarn regia stretch is a good match for the pattern and it was in my stash time for this the beginnings of herbivore ravelry link i had a couple of false starts with colorful busy yarns that detracted from the pattern but i think i m on the right track with this combination and time for this maybe i ll find the missing piece to canada posted by stephanie and mona at 8 00 am 1 comment labels herbivore holidazed jennie the potter thursday june 10 2010 frolicking stephanie wrote i still feel a bit damp after a wet weekend in maine even though the rains were at times torrential and a boat would have come in handy i had a delightful time it s always fun to see familiar faces catch up with friends and make new acquaintances kudos to those who braved the storm to attend this event it wouldn t have been as much fun without you since we were in maine it was only appropriate to spotlight a made in maine product there s nothing like a table full of colorful bags to attract attention these are the handiwork of michele from three bags full details most of the beads on the bags are also made in maine they are the work of bev from shipyard point glassworks and more bags these however are made in massachusetts we were treated to a bit of entertainment a fast moving parade of course there were many cute faces in the barns english baby doll and leicester longwool some of the goats were too frisky for a photo but this one was very cooperative i love the horns llamas strutting about the grounds so regal they are born to pose and i couldn t resist this jersey wooly a ball of fluff with a twitching nose posted by stephanie and mona at 8 21 am 1 comment labels maine fiber frolic shipyard point glassworks three bags full thursday june 3 2010 out and about stephanie wrote not much time for blogging or pictures this week dye
