Fiber Fool

August, despite all the craziness, has ended up being a rather productive one in terms of Project Spectrum. As I mentioned on Sunday I found I enjoyed looking at items and deciding if their non-neutral hues were desaturated enough to be a neutral. At what point is a sage green a neutral? How about the amber color of beer, neutral or orange? I suspect I wasn’t so consistent, I think it depended upon my mood a bit. In fact, looking at the month’s mosaic that is darn colorful, isn’t it?

I had to sneak in another 9 photos that I captured between Sunday and now. There are images there of some handspun. That does mean that I did get those singles plied yesterday. The Jacob (the light) needs washed and the twist set yet, but they got done. There is also my ancient car (a 1993 Probe) that has been quite trusty as of late (knock on wood). Oh, and we had Thai food early this week and that involved the very neutral Thai custard with sticky rice and the white flower was on every table there. Oh, and the locker room at the Senior Center pool where I do water aerobics is very neutral except the really bright lockers.
Further progress has been made on my to-dos for this week. My skirt is done except the hem. The directions recommended letting the dress hang overnight to let the bias stretch out before hemming. Anyone have good tips on placing the hem when you don’t have an extra set of eyes or hands to help? One of the many books I have checked out from the library mentions pinning some chalked string in a doorway at the height from the floor you want your skirt to be and then you brush against it to mark the hem level. Any thoughts on that method or a better option?? I’ve love to hem it this evening so I can wear it for a knitting lunch tomororw… And, then I would have an FO Friday too!
