You know the handspun yarn that I made for the test knit cowl? Well, here it is.. it’s yellow!
I plan to dye it again, but this time with orange dye.
Last evening, I found my copy of Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, with illustrations by Alan Lee. What a coincidence… the yellow of the yarn is the same color as the yellow in this sketch. I should have taken a better picture. I’ll do that soon, and repost.
The same day I dyed this yarn, I made vegetable fried rice. Do you see that the color is similar to my handspun yarn? It was made possible by turmeric!
In other news…
We have a new computer. It’s a Dell – Inspiron 23.8″ All-In-One Touchscreen – 1TB Hard Drive. Our old computer stopped working a few months ago. It still feels odd using the computer as a touch screen and to be honest, I haven’t really taken advantage of that feature… yet. We purchased the above computer this past Saturday from Best Buy. The screen is a bit bigger than our old computer screen, which was a 19″. The same day that we received the new computer, I was able to get the old computer to work again. It’s not as fast as this computer; however, it’s perfect for my daughter’s needs and so it’s now in her room. At her Lutheran school, they have class assignments (Math and Writing) during the summer time and she’s been diligent to complete them on time. She will be attending the Lutheran school one more year and most likely in ninth grade onto graduation… she will be homeschooled. We’re both looking forward to that opportunity. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do and to be perfectly honest, it’s something that I have done. She was reading, writing and doing simple addition and subtraction before she entered into kindergarten.
I hope you all are having a wonderful Monday!
