Why does life always get in the way JUST when you get on a roll?  I’d been doing so well posting regularly and remembering to take pictures and such… and then… well…

At any rate, I will be returning soon (if all goes well, that will be Monday).

For now, here is some roving I dyed in a range of colors.  I’m thinking to ply each color with the same solid color, but I can’t decide which solid to use.  My initial thought was black, but I am starting to wonder if that might not be too rainbow-y.  White would definitely wash out the colors, while a neutral like brown or gray might just look poorly planned.  Any thoughts?

Here are the colors (the black is in there because I was think of using it… try to pretend it isn’t there, please):

Wow, these really look overexposed.  Sadly, I am kind of excited by this (given the usual darkness of my house).

I’m thinking to use the yarn I spin from this for a vest.  I’d really like to hear thoughts about colors I should consider using as a second color for plying (Mom, that especially means you – comment already )

Back soon, I swear.
