Le Grand Depart

 

You know I couldn't leave well enough alone. Yesterday's fiber adventure went back in the dye pot. Well not all of it. Just the places that turned out rather flesh colored. They got stuffed in a jar of orange.

It looks pink in the photo but I swear it is shades of orange. 

I was worried that I had fiddled with it too much and compacted the fiber so I got out another wheel to give it a spin. The band broke. I usually use elastic bands but I didn't want to wait to order one so I tied on some string.

It worked just fine, knot and all. Crisis averted.

Today is the long awaited first day of the Tour and I have to say I feel like I'm off to a very good start.
