On Saturday, Jeanne and I headed out to Deb’s to do a bit of dyeing. (Check out Deb’s pictures, too, including one of me.)
Excuse the blurry pictures – sometimes I swear that the “anti-shake” feature on the camera introduces as much blur as it prevents… Probably it’s just me! Anyway, here’s Jeanne working on the last skein of the day.
Deb and Holli relaxing…
And our finished products. Care to guess which two skeins I dyed?
Were you right? 🙂
As you can tell from the pictures, Saturday was nicely sunny – but it was only in the low 60s. Still, this is much better than last year, when we had our air conditioners on by mid-May!
“Shhh… maybe Mom won’t notice me in the cooler and I’ll get to visit Sammy and Tig and check out their ‘Cat Wheel o’ Fun!'” -Mayhem
“What do you mean, there’s not room for the sorbet with me in the cooler?! How could you even tell I was there? Hmph. You never let me have any fun.” -Mayhem
I bet you guys had a great day together!
That was too easy! None of the others looked remotely like yours, but all are lovely.
Poor May! Don’t you get to go on play dates like dogs do?
Poor May…life is never as good as she expects and never gets her way. At least it didn’t rain on you, POUR rain on you all day long.
Um…I…guessed…wrong…*hanging head in shame*.
But I’m glad you guys had a great day!
Mayhem, I totally expect to open my lunch bag one day and find Gandalf hiding inside…
Oh May – remember – visiting Sammy and Tig means visiting Holli! It was great fun indeed. My skeins are still drying. Darn humidity.
I can not believe there was no black or deep purple. Are you not feeling well?
Looks like a wonderful time!
Chris- I guessed wrong- but clearly, you have influenced the other victims, I mean, girls.
I was definitely leaning toward the purple. There was sorbet? Not only were we cold and wet up at the cabin, we had the weekend of MEAT (men + grill = meat)! Me, my mom, and 7 boys/men. We had ribs, chicken and beef tenderloin. Oof. Thank goodness for asparagus.
Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention to the skeins because I was too busy looking at the view of Debs’s backyard.
Pretty yarn! I bet you grrls had a blast!!!
(((hugs)))
Red? You dyed red? Hmmmph. Well, it certainly looks like you had fun.
OMG, how funny would it have been if you got there, opened the cooler, and out she popped?
yet, I’d like to think that you would’ve noticed how HEAVY and SQUIRMY the cooler was on the way!
I guessed the two skeins at the right, so I was half right. Since when you like red? But a gorgeous red it is.
The red/claret yarn is especially beautiful!
Sounds like a great time and I’m glad you are unhurt by the horrific weather up there.
Poor May. You do always seem to spoil her fun.
I love your dye jobs! Very nicely done.
I am sooooooooooooooo in the mood to dye some yarn! You always look like you have a lot of fun at the dye-days get togethers.
I’m totally itching to dye again! But the weather hasn’t cooperated in a few days. Though I’m not really complaining. We needed rain and the cool temps are wonderful! It’ll be hot enough again to solar dye before I know it.
I am soooo hoping for warm weather! this cold stuff is no fuin at all!
I love your dye job, Chris! Mayhem in the cooler is just way too cute. :o)
That looks like a lot of fun!
May looks adorable in that cooler.
And yes, I totally guessed which ones you dyed. Looks like it was a fun time!
So gorgeous! I’m inviting myself next time 😉
Lovely skeins 🙂 That is definitely a May sized cooler!
i love that puppy.
Poor May; she has such a mean Mommy!
Beautiful yarn!
I was JUST saying the same thing to Hoop about the “anti-shake” feature! What’s up with that? I never had that issue with my ol’ point-and-click.
I guessed wrong! But in my defense, there was no outwardly purple.
Poor Mayhem. She just wanted to play. Surely she could have eaten the sorbet and then they both would have been in the cooler! 🙂
Mayhem, you’re cool already, you don’t need to hang out in the cooler. 😉
That looks like a blast… and look at that incredible lawn out there. What a great porch! (I was right!)
Well May is one cool cat! 🙂 It looks like a fun day. I like the colors. Oh I wish it was cool enough here to go without air conditioners.
those colors are so deep! lovely!
Oh it looks like so much fun!
