Kakishibu on cotton

This scarf is an example of what I’d hoped to be doing this time of year. It isn’t happening.  I’m paying close attention to the weather and the light. Things are just not in sync, not at all like last year. So far, it’s too humid and the sun – just not there when it’s wanted. I just need to be patient.

In the meantime, there’s the blue vat that calls and that seems to be the order of the day at this point. Work that I was anticipating a few weeks ago has “arrived” and wants a good deal of my attention and time. That’s indigo though.
