family fun

Kai and Abi couldn't stand that they missed out on our dying fun yesterday. Emily was kind enough to volunteer her assistance...
Kai and Em smooshing the dye through

Kai's happy with his color choices and pattern
Abi, admiring her work
Graham's going to get in on the fun later. If he ever gets off the phone with his girlfriend. In the meantime, here's some of my finished product...

and a closer look
hand-painted, handspun yarn!
I've spun and plied (low twist, a little thick and thin, heavier than anything else I've done--need to check WPI but it's at least heavy worsted) a little less than half of it so far. I've been thinking I need some sort of head covering for blustery MI winter walks. I'm not really a hat person. Maybe some sort of mobius hood/cowl?

Wow that looks like so much fun. Maybe you can show our girls how to do that. When we finally make it back there to visit. It would be great to have a family picture of you guys. We would love to no more about who our family is. talk to you soon!
