Re: Mushroom dyeing

 

I've been thinking about that, Thérèse but I'm not sure whether I'll go or not. It seems too difficult to plan so far ahead these?days.

I think lobster mushrooms dye a beautiful coral and are available?to purchase but they are an exception.? Wild mushrooms also vary by geography.

Hi Jaya!

Yes, I do still check in & read up on what everyone is up to. And that sounds like a really delicious way to do that cake. I’m glad that recipe is still going strong.?

?Hi Connie!? I'm way behind on reading messages, but just saw this thread and it rang a bell with me.

The Fruitty Knitting Vlog, episode 111, featured an interview with Flora Collingwood-Norris who does exuberant mending of knitwear.? The results are cheerful and adds so much to each piece.

The examples of her mending begins at around 41:58.?



Not sure if you watch this Vlog, but it has excellent content, although the presenter, Andrea, is struggling a bit b/c she lost her husband this year.

Meanwhile,? my DIL is within a day of her first child's due date.? It's crazy around here with excitement.

Very happy to learn about your move!!!

Yup! ? I’ve watched everything I can find on “invisible weaving,” “Reweaving,” and “French Weaving.”

All the same end result. ?

Did you see this video as well?? Demonstrates how to do that weaving (I always thought this was French re-weaving, but it's all the same thing) without a specialty needle.? Ingenious.

Connie, I thought I remembered that Lacis sold one, and indeed a couple of other vendors carry theirs. Looks like Clover makes them too.
