Finally figured out what i need to help me with this blue project....a mauve project! i need to distract my brain from over thinking the deep issues that creep up from the dark blue depths of cold icy water filled with krackens and ghost ships and skeletons and fish with big eyes that don't see.....and crabs.....and sea slugs. and the best way to do this is to do a project side by side. a project with my favorite color mauve! well, actually grey is my favorite color all-the-time, but mauve is my favorite color now. mauve is my new grey. mauve is a color that does not occur in the ocean that often. mauve occurs much more often in hollywood and in trunks and attics. so- i have put together some soft, pettable fibers for a hat (ahem...actually...still technically a beenie. what the f*** with my beenie issue! ug...analyze another time...). anyway. the mauve is awesome dusty colored alpaca that i dyed with violet and black. the other stuff are odds and ends treasure fiber that i have had stashed.


still spinning mindy's yarn: into a little rougher seas now....




the mauve distraction:




weird little bits!! i love weird little bits....



carded it all up. going to stripe it with this pretty silver thread.
