well I ve been doing a lot of dyeing and knitting in jan still working on the screwed up sweater I do not wish a blockout from a heart problem on anyone its been 3 years and reading a pattern is like reading french for me I am hoping just going on with the pattern and not stressing out will slowly heal my blanks .
here a picture of the roving I hand painted this last week striding on with healing my self and hoping my push to dye fiber will get me into better shape for spring !
