My green collection of solar-dyed, hand-dyed crochet thread has been getting a workout this week. We've had a few medical appointments with long waiting room crochet opportunities.
I have far fewer greens than blues. I have been battling the temptation to dye more shades and gradients all week long. I'm not trying to use up everything I've got before I dye again, and I really miss dyeing. But solar dyeing is a time hog I'm not sure I should invest in right now. Most satisfying and rewarding, but just too demanding right now.
I have five old crochet bags I used to tote on public transportation when I was working. I haven't touched them since 2019 or perhaps even earlier. I went on a scavenger hunt to see if there was any more hand-dyed green in any of those old bags. I should have snapped a post-hunt photo because the tiny little balls I found are gone now.
Three of the tiny little balls barely made one disc each. I found six more tiny balls of blues, too, so after I finish the greens, I'll finish the blues again.
I still haven't decided what to do with the hearts or scraps yet, but I'm hoping some magnificent inspiration will trigger one sleepless night, and I'll come up with the coolest jewelry ever.
