Spring Blooms on Polwarth and Stormy Reef on Blue Faced Leicester
The BFL ended up with a lot moodier blues than it looked in the pan but I still really like it and think it will spin up fun! I love love love the polwarth though, as is to be expected considering how much I love spring and florals.
Dye day! Gonna be tackling those colour palettes you voted for. There really is no getting the Polwarth and the BFL mixed up. Look at that colour difference! Polwarth is such a super bright white wool
Did some dyeing last weekend when it was warm. I bought a EIGHT POUND fleece last summer and washed and dyed a bit of it. I was aiming for a kind of worn denim color and I actually think I got it right! The fleece dyed very unevenly but after a run through the drum carder it got really nice and heathered. It was so easy to clean! I just used the hottest setting on the kitchen faucet and a few squirts of soap and it came out so nice!
The blue is Jacquard's Brilliant Blue, and a bit of Lilac for vibes. I didn't measure or anything, so we'll see how well I can replicate it.
The original brown is nice and all, but the idea of spinning EIGHT POUNDS of just brown made me decide I need to color at least some of it.
Okay, I know I acted silly about this, but the fact that there is 1 singular year round roller skating rink in the city of Philadelphia home to 1.6 million people is kinda fucking horrifying when you think about the broader implications of it.
My swatches helping me turn this yarn into socks. I realized it's been a really long time since I had knit a pair of socks, so hope these work out. I am really loving this yarn so far!

You know, with how the Psychic 7 were trying to explore psychic abilities and stuff, I think it would be hilarious if Bob figured out invisibility on accident because he made a fool of himself in front of Helmut before they started dating.
Imagine if you will, Helmut flirting with Bob a little, just trying to test the waters, and the following happens:
Bob, trying to escape the conversation because he's Not Ready For This: I gotta go, I, uh, I have to go put my oven in the fridge.
Helmut, confused but still smiling: What?
Bob, panicking as he realized what he just said: What?
Helmut: ...
Bob: [turns invisible because he's dying of embarrassment.]
And then later, after the others have heard about how Bob figured out how to turn invisible:
Otto: So, you have to go put your oven in the fridge, huh?
Bob, still dying: Shut it, Mentallis.
