I did some roving dyeing on my weekend off. As usual, I ran them through the spin cycle of the washing machine, then hung them on a peg on the shelf over my living room windows to finish drying. As I was about to take them down when they were dry, I noticed something.
The things I normally have hanging on the pegs (although I do put the snowman away once spring rolls around) rather matched their respective rovings. I may have done it subconsciously, but I thought I just hung em up to dry.
Here they are wound into skeins. I am very pleased with the yellow/orange/raspberry one, not thrilled with the green/blue (too limey)and eh about the lavender/blue one.
I also got to the eye doctor on Saturday. My eyes have actually improved,(no bifocals needed yet!) so my current glasses are a little too strong, which is probably causing the headaches. The new glasses are due in on the 2nd, and guess what color they are.

re: noticing something...like mother like daughter. just naturally (subconsciously) artistic.
re: improved eyesight...hooray!
re: guess the color?...raspberry?
I love all of the rovings colors. They are beautiful.
I hope that the new glasses help.
How'd Mom do at the Spa? :-)
Your rovings are beautiful!
Rick, nope, guess again.
Mom did great at the Spa. Less wandering than she usually does there.
Thanks Linda Sue!
pinkle?
Your colors are beautiful. I really like the blue/green one. I call that green celery and it goes with everything!
Are you short-sighted? I am and my eyesight has improved as I've grown older - apparently the tendency to become more long-sighted as we age has balanced things out a bit. Love the peg decorations - I thought your mum had been at work again!
Your rovings are beautiful. I'm glad your eyesight has improved and you'll be getting your new glasses soon. Are the glasses a blue/gray? The other combination I'm thinking is pink.
Welcome back from your weekend, Annie.
Glad your mom did well at the Spa. The weekend away was probably a good adventure for her. (We all need to see new sights now and then!)
I love the yellow/orange/rasp roving and really like the green/blue/not-too-limey one.
Your pic of the front porch view is gaw-geous!
New glasses frame color? I'm guessing black. That's what my last ones are. We must try for sophistication, you know. HA! :o)
Pinkle, hahaha. Nope, Cindy is correct with the blue guess. Lily and Rick, I take the mother like daughter comments as a compliment. Thank you.
Mama Pea, sophistication? Hahaha!
Love, love, love the green-blue-perfectly limey one. It's my fave!
