Mark's bow sock is done, yay, and I learned some stuff from making mine that I applied to his, which was good. We picked up fabric for under-and over-kosode for each of us, plus hakama for him. (I'm doing long kosode for now, and will make hakama for myself when I have more time.) Today was spent laundering and dyeing the fabrics. I am grateful <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://keshwyn.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://keshwyn.dreamwidth.org/'><b>keshwyn</b></a></span> hooked me up with Procion dyes and dyeing knowledge while she was here at one point, because that made this much easier.<br /><br />So his hakama fabric is a soft reddish-purplish brown (the dye is officially "rose brown") and my kosode fabric is now a deep forest green (forest green dye plus a scoop of midnight blue). We'll see how they turn out. I didn't want to start cutting the under-kosode until I was *done* with the dyes. So maybe I will get an under-kosode done tomorrow. At least I have the fabric and have finished the bow sock, and yeah. It's been a nice break from brain-melty work.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=leanne&ditemid=9910" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
