Y’know, it’s taken me months to blog the dyeing I did over a couple of days.  What pleases me the most about that is that I must mean I learned quickly from my mistakes — because my last batch of dyeing was perfect, exactly what I wanted.

I’d been looking through my stash for inspiration, when I pulled out some fibre I’d picked up at MDSW — and a bell went off in my head.  At the time I’d bought it, it absolutely sang out for me to pick it up, fondle it, love it, buy it.  And I obeyed, chuffed to bits to have these exquisite colours as my own possession!

But now I looked at it and realised, these colours were Kool-Aid.  And I could make them.  So I did.

Spot on!   How’s that for learning from your mistakes?
