![Confession Time with Katie:
Playing Mario Kart has made me a worse driver. As I drove to lunch with a friend, I wished for a flashing star so I could be invincible and drive through everything.
Also, we're eating bagels for lunch because throwing rules out windows is my new favorite hobby.
Speaking of hobbies, I started a Constellate Hat in the colorway, African Violets by LolaBean Yarn. The first Constellate took me nineteen months so surely i can beat that!
LOL. @marz1pan thought I was knitting a sock for someone with HUGE calves!
In writing news, I plan to send a short story before mid-December so join my Inner Circle Email List if you need a dopamine hit right about now.
I hope you have the Monday you need, Crew! I love you!!!!

That was the theme going into my dye day with a friend last Sunday. We ended up not using very much blue, but we did run out of purple kool-aid….and green. The Husband was sweet enough to run to the grocery store and pick up some more while we continued to cook yarn.
Here’s what we ended up with and I’ll post the “recipes” for each over the next few days in case you see something you like.
white became what the dyer thought looked like Wet Dolphin and I want to name Ice Queen
white becomes self-striping rainbow yarn
kermit green became this lovely shade
we spun gray yarn into gold
Blue cowl with rust spots gets purple overtones
Bright pink becomes burnt orange
Happy March!
Ps. Check out what others have finished at Tami’s Amis and Wisdom begins in Wonder and Natural Suburbia

Wow…looks like you had some fun. I love seeing what color happens when you overdye.
me too! I may have to try it again before too long.
I think the burnt orange is my favorite.
I was hoping for a little more orange, but it will do.
I love to dye and over-dye but mostly I love to dye with friends. Looks like you had a great time and were very productive too.
Yes, a good time was had by all.
Ooooh, I love the overdye on the cowl! Great purple color.
Thanks. I’m hoping my mom likes it. It says “Mother’s Day” to me.
I think my favourite one is the rainbow one! I might have to try that – looking forward to seeing the recipes.
rainbow one was easily my favorite but I really liked the overdye on the green too.
Dye Day. Oh my, that sounds like so much fun!
It was. But, it was hard work. I felt like I’d worked out for hours.
I’m very impressed with your results. Beautiful colors!
Thanks so much!
That looks like a very fun day.
oh, it was!
