Some soaking, weaving, and dying

Once again, my life kind of exploded. Go figure--I'm a teacher! Over the very busy, stressful, and draining last two weeks, I have managed to get a bit of crafting in. I'm still sane enough to type, aren't I?

I citric acid soaked some cotton because I have a project that I don't want to bleed at the end; we shall see how that goes. Oddly enough it was the blue that gave off a little color, not the green...

After early experiments with cotton yarn, I switched to some Red Heart (Gasp! I know!) and some gray that I had just got on the container, and started weaving chevrons following the modern directions on the old loom. I have only had to rip back once--so far, and I am really happy with the results. I now have 5.6 squares finished--still enjoying the process! 6 more of the two color twill, then 3 solid I think?

I finally got the heel turned on my second Tinturn Abbey sock; we won't talk about how I bungled it royally... In the home stretch!

I also am just about ready to cast off the bottom ribbing of my Baby Vertebra that I'm working on; I love how these colors are knitting up!

Half-term is coming up, so I'm hoping to have a few minutes to call my own in which to do something other than marking. We shall see!
