Tonight, I started to get serious. We are getting close to the latest round of Sheep and Wool Festivals and I intend to win more ribbons. I have so many ideas floating through my head for colors and spinning, and I need to make it happen. I was tempted to buy a cashmere fleece online today. But, when it came down to it, my brain started screaming: DEAR GOD!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOURSELF!?! YOU HATE THIS CASHMERE YARN AND NOW YOU WANT TO MAKE MORE!?!?! YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!
Good point, inner monologue. I will probably never even be able to wear a cashmere sweater ever again due to this scarf. And, I am sure you will all be happy when I finish so you will never have to read about it again.
But, back to my dye shop in my kitchen... I find that merino takes on the best color and I never get tired of working with it. I would like to work with more reds and orange colors. I tend to live by the philosophy of the brighter the better. It also might be helpful to do colors that may work for men. I seem to make an endless supply of lady yarn that would be impossible for a male to pull off. Whatever I decide to submit for the yarn competitions, I know it has to be spectacular. I crave ribbons!
