redying and kittens

OK so i am not happy with the way the silk did not take the dye. i knit it up into a cowl to see how the dye job worked up. and realized that what little of the beet colour had been removed so it looked like blueish soot on drab silver.


Rather boring i think so i am tossing it back in to see if it will pick up more colour. knitting on drab was killing me. i had to force myself to finish the random patterning, it was either that or rip and re-skein and re-knit it. being frustrated i did not feel like doing that having already put a couple of hours into it. so here's hoping.

on the kitten front i saw them just a little bit ago. One is a torbie - tortie tabby too adorable and too skinny. she also looks like she might have a hurt paw by the way she runs. i think i will call her Dandelion. i would put her at 4 weeks maybe 5. her sibling is going to be a fluffy Siamese and is much bigger than her.
the other Siamese kitten is definitely not their sibling as Ma Mere hisses and growls at the angel.
also seen was a tiny brown tabby a fluffy black and much later a tom i had not seen before. the two possible daddies are him and Rue the red tom that has been hanging around for 4 years and is trap savvy, and i cannot forget the intact male Siamese that i have been told about but not seen yet.
