lots of stitches and a fresh dye

 the narrow cloth is gathering momentum, there are a lot more coloured threads than I had intended, but this is the way it's going, I guess I'm not the one in control here. it has a lovely warm blankety wrap-around-feel to it already

elderberry-copper-pipe dye result, no mordant, the colours are blue-er and greener than in this pic, but I liked the dog peeping through

and I wrapped yet another bit of cotton around the copper pipes, plus the elderberry mush plus three rusty bottle tops and it's all sat in the tin can with the elderberry-wine, ha ha, it actually smells rather nice;
so it's all soaking and wicking and steeping and becoming something!
