Dye yarn as a mom: full, realistic audio of what goes on while I work
www.olgaandodd.com
Let's dye some self striping yarn! Like I said in the video, I had my good microphone plugged in to talk about the steps but it also captured all the background noise in my house. Normally I just mute the original video and do a voice over, but today I invite you in to hear all the original chatter! (also note the kids are not in the kitchen while dyeing, the mic just picks up all the chatter from a distance.

It felt like a low crafting year but there are like 25 finishes in this video. Plus I read a bunch of books in the second half of the year so that was an accomplishment in a different way. Also, it seems like I did way more sewing than I originally thought. Maybe more sewing than anything else this year- that hasn't happened in a a very long time!

    I totally get the downstairs crafting space. Our basement is half storage/laundry and the other half is hobbies. I keep my sewing desk and toolbench where I store my yarn stash and supplies. I want to sew but I have to sort of leave the family for it. I do have a sofa, desk, and table there if the kid follows but focusing can be a thing. Awesome job for making it work.

      Sounds like a similar set up to what I have. There are pros and cons either way but it is annoying to move it so I’ve just left it so far. That may change though, as everyone gets older it get easier to have a bit more space

    Great video! Curious about your two swifts. The smaller one - how do you determine when you’ve hit your one skein mark? (Looks like your larger skein you dyed was one big skein that you are winding off into 3??). Are you using a rotation counter?? Pretty handy hubby for building that for ya!! 😉

    • @KendraMakes
      @KendraMakes 7 днів тому

      Hi! I measure by weight when winding from the cone to the large warping mill. Every 100 grams (plus a gram or two) I cut the yarn and tie it to the next skein so it’s continuous but measured. After dyeing when I wind it off I go until I come to a knot and that’s one skein!

    Let me just start with I am a Trump supporter and do not believe he is a white supremacist. However, that is my personal decision and has nothing to do with my hobbies of knitting & crochet.

    No. More than fifty percent of the people did NOT vote for Trump, that isn't how US elections work. Clinton won the popular vote. There are MANY videos that explain it, but we have an electoral college, meaning x thousand votes for y converts to one official vote for y and that number varies by state. It's assanine and really should be changed to one vote for y equals one vote for y but you try convincing politicians who only get seats because of it to change it. 🙄. (Actually I would prefer ranked voting to first past the post but we can't even have that so...).

    As a conservative, I ignored my feeling of the Rav. controversy being one sided when it happened. After EIGHT YEARS OF TRUMP BASHING, my gut feeling is outrage. Why does everything relating to women immediately go the loud liberal pro abortion route? $$$ perhaps, as the new knitters coming into the fold were pro Dem. Banning the quieter, often faith-based realm of conservative voters, wasn't equal. But, this is the America we live in today. Sad that politicals were ever allowed to establish any footing on the site, I believe it wasn't handled appropriately, growing pains for younger site owners. I continue to use Rav. for its simplicity and ease. I won't tolerate any further conservative bias, fortunately I haven't had to tolerate any. Tk you
