Saturday evening Jeanne and I did a bit more dyeing. Here’s our setup in Jeanne’s backyard:
Here I’m dyeing some yarn that will turn out to be shockingly purple – so shocking that I overdyed it with black Sunday night to tone it down a little! I have to remember to draft out color ideas before sitting down to dye yarn, because if I don’t – I can only remember that I like purple and black.
Yarn pictures later this week, after drying and detangling.
But the very best thing about the evening? Jeanne surprised me with a Stumbling Over Chaos word cloud t-shirt! I cannot even tell you how excited I was. I might even have bounced a bit (ok, ok, maybe more than a bit). Thank you, Jeanne – that was so sweet and unexpected!
Reading this is like reading really fun fridge magnet poetry. Some favorites include “thought time tongue totally tuna,” “SRM story stumbling text think,” “chaotic chris claws color,” and “favorite flamingos free fun.” I could go on – but I’ll spare you!
That’s such a cool gift!!
But that t-shirt screams out for tie-dying!? Did it slip into a dye vat?
Hmmm…maybe if I play dead wife on the floor, Dave will leave the air on. Ya think?
You had gloves and masks on for that right? 🙂
That t-shirt’s really cool. And the cat’s cute too. Just stumbled on your blog by accident. Thought I’d leave a comment!
Love the shirt! What a great idea!
What a great shirt! Can’t wait to see your new dyed yarn and have a good week.
Great shirt!
I like purple and black, too.
Hmm, wonder what Chaos will look like with bits of purple?
When are we gonna see some knitting? Mermaid?
Chaos has really figured out what will work to get the air on, hasn’t he?
Dyeing sounds like it was lots of fun- can’t wait to see the finished result!
How shockingly purple was it? It might have been quite pretty! Of course your talking to a purple fanatic.
Love the shirt!
I’m a fan of purple and black, too. Awesome color combo!
Love the shirt! So very cute.
great shirt!
Can’t wait to see your yarn
Wicked cool t-shirt. Now could we see the yarn, please?
Umm, pics of the yarn would be most excellent ….!
Can’t wait to see the yarn that you dyed. I love purple & black too! My word cloud didn’t get very good.. though I’ve seen some really cool ones.
So do we get to see this shocking purple?? I myself cannot quite imagine a purple so shocking it needed overdyed, but I suppose it can exist…
I would like to see shocking purple too, please. 🙂
Way cool shirt!!!
All of it is just lovely. Every drop. That T-shirt rocks!!!!
I hope Chaos is not playing coy. We know better… LOL
That dead kitty pose looks really familiar. We haven’t turned the air on yet and Lucy and Petey are melting. We’re just trying to get them acclimated to living in Florida :o)
I love the T-shirt. What a neat idea.
Great tee shirt!! Can’t wait to see the yarn – the colors sound so great!
Chaos is so cute, hiding. Bashful!
I am having a hard time imagining that any purple could be too considered too shocking…I need to see it. The brighter, the better!
love that t-shirt – what a fab gift!
what a fun t-shirt! And all that pretty yarn….can’t wait to see it.
Poor, poor overheated Chaos. He can’t take off that fur coat, you know. What a tragic pose.
Halley is pretty darn cute.
Did you take a picture of the shocking purple before you overdyed it?
Cool Word Cloud!
Was it “Prince” purple? Very cool shirt – that Jeanne…what a pal!
Is Chaos going to start internet dating now? Perhaps he should have a profile on e-harmony…..
That shirt is so cool!!
I want shocking purple pics too.
Love the word cloud T! What a great gift.
Lots of dyeing going around. Can’t wait to see the results!
cute kitty love letter – can Chaos blush? ;o) Jeanne gave you an awesome gift! Those words are very ‘you’ (purple and black even make an appearance there!)
I like seeing your dyeing setup!
I can’t see what is wrong with purple and black myself 🙂 I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve done.
Chaos is so sweet and innocent looking today – but we know the truth!
That’s a great tshirt! I’m looking forward to seeing how your yarn turned out.
Love the t-shirt. Can’t wait to see the yarn
Cute shirt! What a fun gift for a blogger.
I think wine is crucial to many, many activities.
Great shirt!
That Jeanne is a Wonder and a Treasure!
and…
… but I LIKE shockingly purple!!

looks like you had a fabulous time! and the t-shirt is grand!Wish we could all have a dyeing party together!
That shirt is extremely cool! I know what you mean about the dyeing…seems like everything I do has green/blue/brown or green/purple or purple/orange. There are other colors, I know, but you wouldn’t know that from my yarn!
Wow, you look like you’re having so much fun with the dyeing! I’m on the verge of posting about all of my adventures … and it’s an adventure, right?? 🙂 I love that stenciling … do you read soule mama’s blog? Mostly fabric, but some great knitting also — and she’s done some really cool stenciling onto clothing. Must. Do. For. Kids. (What’s the use of having kids if you can’t push your handmade stuff onto them, right?)
Super cool shirt. Lucky you.
You forgot the worst potential accident of all — reaching for the wine and winding up with a big mouthful of dye instead. 🙂
Great shirt!
