Tracy & I had another dyeing moment yesterday. She had a plan, we didn’t know how to acheive the goal so we just whinged it! Yeah, it didn’t work out AT ALL! Food coloring isn’t the best to try to make the dye stay in one certain place without spreading all through the pan & coloring it all. 4 colors=muddy mess. I only got a picture of the first color going in the pan, not all 4. By the way, we know we did the technique pretty much all wrong. Back to the way we normally do it!
Now here is the hank after the muddy mess. We thought to just overdye the red with some blue to get some nice purple sections. Right!
And sadly here is the end ball.
I don’t even care that it is out of focus. You see the colors right? That is a first let me tell you! Never have we gotten pastels from these food dyes. So, we’ll see how funky it knits up into socks.
I have a sinus infection. My BAD allergies started up on Thursday & within 2 days they’ve progressed into my most hated bodily reaction. About 3 years ago I had the same problem with allergies & for 8 months I sounded like a man, sneezed & itched constantly, had severe sinus infections one right after the other. Finally my brother in law that is a doctor prescribed me some flonase. Within a week I was fixed! Well once the refills ran out I found my bad allergies didn’t come back. For 2 years I have been fine, until this past week. NOthing changed with the weather, we have never been able to figure out what exactly it is that is causing this particular reaction but if I don’t fix it now it will last all through summer & winter. Springtime is the only time I don’t have allergies living here, go figure!
SO this afternoon may entail a trip to the Urgent Care to get me some meds! Thank God I know what works! My teeth feel like they are going to fall out of my head & my cheeks next to my nose are actually inflamed due to the sinus’ underneath. My ears are crackling & I go partially deaf after I swallow. I had to sleep on my back because if I laid on my side my sinus’ would pool all to one side & the pain is unbelievable! This pain is the third worst pain I have had to bear ( I can’t believe I lived with it for 8 months the last time, shows you how much I don’t feel the need to go to the doctor). First, childbirth 3 times no meds. Second, tattoos. Third, my damn sinus’!! Fourth would be pelvic floor pain but you all don’t really need to know that. ;o)
