Mossy Cottage Knits

Picture, Thousand Words, Blahblahblah

Oh…my…Gawd. Who knew that when I posted my off-the-cuff and tongue-in-cheek comment about depositing one's boobs in a drop-off box for a mammogram that three weeks later I'd be adding a frickin' illustration! But thanks to a priceless link sent to me by my sister, I am indeed in that astonishing position. And to make this all even more remarkable, it's knitting-related -- I kid you not! Suffice it to say, I imagine this is what the mammogram technician's in-box would look like on a very busy day. http://central.com.au/artmed/amb/bru.html

Knitting Knews
I finished the first Opal Brazil sock. So much fun to knit. Kicky, kooky colors. Had to wear it, natch', so, since it's a good 85-90 degrees here, I spent most of the evening wearing my new wool sock on my left foot and nothing on my right, in hopes that that sartorial combination would keep my body at an even temperature.

Dyeing Dyegest
My hunt for my personal Questing Beast -- in my case, green dye -- has taken a turn for the better. I tried the bracken dyeing experiment again, this time a little more conscientiously, without, out of sheer laziness, flinging leaves, liquids and yarn arbitrarily into the dye pot. The end result? A lovely, warm sage green, much darker and more sage-y than this picture, in fact.
