My plan for yesterday was to spend the day ice dyeing and tie dyeing. I have tshirts to make for some kids by Saturday. But while I was eating breakfast I got a call from a friend who needed to go to the ER. She wrenched her back several days ago and the pain had gotten worse. I was happy she called for help and was happy to take her. I was smart enough to take my crochet bag with me but not smart enough to take a crochet hook! But I had my phone for entertainment and a phone charger. I did eventually get to start dyeing a couple of experimental things. This photo is from last night before I added a second brick of ice. This is a sweatshirt so I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. It's a sweatshirt for me so it will be OK, regardless. This is a kid's tshirt and I'm doing a technique that I saw on Facebook. This is how I'm able to do ice dyeing in the winter! It's well over 80 degrees in the basement.
I'll check on my friend this morning and then get back to dyeing.

Interesting technique with the ice dyeing. I look forward to seeing how the shirts turn out. 12/14/2024 11:59:47 am
An ice brick? Wow, that is crazy. I would love to do some ice dyeing.

I think I like both of them so far. I really should try ice dyeing - if I ever have the time for dyeing again.

Your basement looks nice and cozy with that wood burning stove. And what an ingenious set up for ice dyeing! Looking forward to seeing the finished items.

I don't think I've ever seen ice dyeing done with blocks of ice like that. Look forward to seeing the results.

I hope your friend feels better soon. No hook - sounds like something I would do! That ice dyeing is interesting. I look forward to seeing the results. Comments are closed.
