Disaster Strikes Dyepot

This hasn't been my dye season so far. I have some seeds started, and so far they're doing well. But two times I've tried to do a mixed yellow blossoms dyepot and two times I have failed. The first succumbed to a horrible case of mold because I waited to long to use it. So, this time I set the pot on simmer to kill any mold spores in preparation for tonights dying. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn the pot off when I left for work. By the time my son woke up, there was little left to my dye besides the black goo at the bottom of the pot. Since my dying was supposed to be for a swap, I can't chance that it will be horrible, despite the fact that I've added water to the pot. So, I'm going to use my stash of onion skins to dye my yarn. I just hope I have enough. What a total bummer. Fits right in with the rest of the day. Ah well.

On a brighter note, the rhubarb divisions I planted all took except one, and that one may not be a total gonner yet. Theres still some hope left.

Thanks for the listen.
