Yarn Dyeing Day

It was a glorious October morning and this was the church where we were to meet. Or so I thought. It turned out that our meeting spot was down the hill which was not visible to me when I arrived. I waited at the church and after setting up my dyes, I sat and knit, and waited for everyone to show up. They were all down at the bottom waiting for me. A comedy of errors. Eventually a priest wandered in and suggested that all those cars were my knitting friends, and so I went outside and saw where I should have been and then it all became clear to me. Duh.

It was a super fun event. Lots of enthusiasm and beautiful color. The dyes did their magic act and here is my demo skein. I went for pastel rainbow.

 Sheila's Sock yarn from http://www.wool2dye4.com/ Someone on my knit-for-list will see her feet covered in this. Woowoo!

And then I got an email from a lovely reader in Alberta,Canada who had decided to purchase Desert Sky. This is one of my all time favorite quilts and was almost sold several times before. Now it is on its way to Canada for real. Double woowoo!

Speaking of on its way, we are on our way up north to assess the damage to Dave's motorcycle and figure out what to do about it. It is being stored at a Kawasaki dealer who also sells all terrain vehicles which Dave wants. He is going to try and make a deal with the guy. The plot thickens.

UPDATE:
About an hour into our trip to see the motorcycle, the dog pooped in his kennel and I pulled over with the trailer in tow to clean up the mess. ( We had to bring the dog, since we would be gone all day, and my studio would be at his mercy).  Then we had to stop again at a post office to mail a bunch of knits and the quilt above. While I was in the post office Dave reconsidered the whole idea of trying to get something for the bike in trade for an ATV. He decided to cut his losses and not get anything. In fact he decided we should just go home. As we speak he is talking to the dealer and making arrangements to send him the title and leave it at that.
I had prayed a lot about this and felt that since I had absolutely no control over anything I would hand it over and just let God handle the situation, knowing He would work things out just perfectly. I am pretty sure He did.
