We dyed eggs today, and one batch was done in grape juice for the first time (instead of red wine). We did another with onion skins, and I made dyes from red cabbage, cayenne powder, and turmeric. Turmeric was the most annoying because of how hard it was to strain. Hopefully we'll have a couple really yellow eggs, though.

(Another project today was making fruit leather for the first time with more of my surplus grapes.)

🧶🧶🧶 Ye Olde Stack 'O Swatches. Amazing how each one holds a memory. And, can see how my swatching in particular and knitting in general have improved.

Reflecting - This art/craft of ours is blessedly diverse. Some days I want to knit all the things. Other days it's sorting scraps, a match for the spoons I have.

I feel so blessed to have the chance to begin again with fiber arts. <gratitude>

This is a large scalemail pauldron. It hangs off one shoulder while wrapping under the opposite arm for support. It is composed of anodized aluminum scales, starting with uncolored scales with black trim at the top, then changing to fully black scales partway down. The scales are attached to a strip of chainmail which holds the piece to the body. #chainmail #chainmaille #scalemail #armor #maker #crafts #aluminum #pauldron #shoulder
This is a chainmail piece I call a triangle scale top. A clasp around the top connects to chain triangles which expand to form the neckline. Once the expansion is complete, the chainmail connects to scalemail contractions which complete the top. The scales are two toned, with primarily silver and black trim. The two halves are connected in the middle of the chest, as well as by a chain which runs around the back. Decorative chains hang low between the two halves. This piece has two clasps, one around the neck and the other at the back. The clasp chains are intentionally made too long in order to allow for adjustments when putting on the top. The excess chain also performs a decorative function. The piece is made of bright aluminum rings with anodized aluminum scales. #chainmail #chainmaille #scalemail #armor #crafts #maker #aluminum

🧶🧶🧶 Here is link for Romi Hill's 2025 MKAL, a triangular shawl. Kicks off May 23rd, so plenty of time to prepare.

Romi's MKALs are great! Pattern has a theme, clever new technique, weekly in-depth #YouTube, robust forum. She offers a pay-as-you-can purchase model. Annually, a lot of people participate.

I'm all in, swatched and ready to go. Consider joining me!
