Peasant bread - proofing the yeast. #yearofmaking 13/365

Turned a piece of cardboard into a simple loom. Using a dpn as a pick up stick and tapestry needle to weave. Yarns are from botanical dye tests. #yearofmaking 19/365
mk.carroll:
Another botanical dye test - basil blossoms #yearofmaking 18/365
mk.carroll:
Solar oven - no really! Glass jars of dye and yarn inside, keeping it closed to hold in the heat, so no peeking just yet. #yearofmaking 17/365
mk.carroll:
Seeded peasant loaf, fresh out of the oven - this is the hardest part, waiting for it to cool!
mk.carroll:
Soup! #yearofmaking 16/365
mk.carroll:
Soup - galangal, kaffir lime leaf, Thai basil. With onion, leek, lemongrass, salt, and water, will be the broth. #yearofmaking 16/365

Started another Fisherman's Rib cowl to use up more oddballs in the yarn stash...and maybe procrastinate on sewing up the striped pink cowl I just finished. (@alapuakai I'll get it done this week! I know you are coooooold)
mk.carroll:
Basil blossom dye. Pre-mordanted the wool with kukui leaf (for the tannins), and may split this skein into 3 or 4 mini skeins to experiment with modifiers (iron, vinegar, and...?) #yearofmaking 20/365
mk.carroll:
To-do list: probably all I'll manage for #yearofmaking today 15/365
mk.carroll:
Ramen for dinner #yearofmaking 10/365
mk.carroll:
11-hour workday, exhausted brain: for 9/365 #yearofmaking it's a cup of tea and a shopping list.
mk.carroll:
Solar dyeing yarn - rosemary iron on left, pomegranate rind on right. #yearofmaking 8/365
mk.carroll:
Berry smoothie, artistically spattered on the tablecloth. #yearofmaking 7/365 because making a mess counts
mk.carroll:
Last week's peasant bread as toast. Heading in to the office, so counting this for today's #yearofmaking 21/365
mk.carroll:
May have inadvertently made cabbage cider instead of sauerkraut. Am not quite willing to taste it. #yearofmaking 23/365
