I was in need of a smile, and you provided one. Thank you!<br /><br />This year's snowflake booklet is still available until about December, whenever the local MS office closes out their books for the year. And then I'll have a few weeks to finish up next year's booklet for next year's fundraising drive!<br /><br />Donations may be made <a href="http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/COCBikeEvents?px=2106802&pg=personal&fr_id=20901" rel="nofollow">here</a> until the link doesn't work anymore, and then it will be a few weeks before the new link is ready.Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-12210892344476021972013-08-31T16:52:57.169-06:002013-08-31T16:52:57.169-06:00I've been following your blog for quite a whil...I've been following your blog for quite a while now. I found your blog because I do love crocheting and I absolutely do love crocheting snowflakes to the point of obsession. :-)<br />You made me laugh, you made me cry, I love your pictures, I am totally amazed about the beauty of the Rocky Mountains (I have never been in the United States). I honestly don't know how you can do all the cycling with your health problems. I love to come back and read your posts every time. Thank you for all the things you share with the world.<br />I thought today would be a great day to say hello for the first time. You made me laugh again with your dying experiments. I enjoy it so much to see all the results you get and I am so happy for you that you got some beautiful colours now. I would love to have some of the yarn to knit or crochet with for myself. :-)<br />I also would love to buy the snowflake book from you but I have no idea how to do it. :-(<br />Have a wonderful weekend and many greetings from Germany :-)<br />NicoleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-12351324494034164762013-08-10T10:41:45.335-06:002013-08-10T10:41:45.335-06:00The peach and yellow are luscious!

They've switched to waxed cardboard! What will we do now?!? (probably use plastic milk bottles)<br /><br />I'll keep experimenting with weeds and baths because I thought of a great project idea the other day while I was winding the hanks into balls. I need about 20 different colors, so I've got a way to go!Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-49543070499035206642013-08-08T22:06:45.996-06:002013-08-08T22:06:45.996-06:00Thanks, Glor!

And that...That peach yarn looks good enough to eat! And that deep rich brown is gorgeous. How very fascinating about the tannin ... and the sumac. We have loads of sumac here, all holding up gorgeous reddish-brown bobs (just looked that up - that's what the clusters of drupes are called). Apparently some species of sumac drupes are dried and used as a spice.<br /><br />Your dyeing experiments are getting so intricate - are you keeping a chart or something of all the different baths, the order in which they're used, and the results? It would make a lovely spreadsheet. :)<br /><br />P.S. Lizard will have to keep eating a lot of ice cream to provide you with enough dyeing tubs. A tough job, but somebody has to do it.Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-44829747161043109152013-08-08T18:40:29.194-06:002013-08-08T18:40:29.194-06:00Wow ... you just amaze me.

A friend of mine is doing the same with some of her raw and spun alpaca fiber, except she's mostly using wild mushrooms she finds in the woods, with some lovely pastel results.
