Check out my crocheted hearts that I dyed ... some in red and some in blue.
I started by crocheting hearts with the 3-ply bleached Crochet Hemp.
Then I prepared a dye bath with red Rit dye. About 3 cups of hot water and a capful of dye in a bowl.
For these light-red hearts, I dipped the hearts in the dye bath for about 1 second and then rinsed them with cold water.
For the light blue hearts, I prepared a dye bath using the denim Rit dye and dipped them for about 1 second.
For these darker red hearts, I dipped them in the dye bath for about 1 minute and then rinsed them with cold water.
Oh the possibilities.
NOTE ABOUT THIS DAY
I hope you vote today. And I hope that whoever you vote for and whoever you campaigned for prior to today, you'll count blessings that we live in a country where we have the freedom to champion the candidates and propositions that we believe in with all our might. But after the votes are cast, it is America's fine tradition that when the results become clear in a presidential election, the losing side makes a concession call to the winning side, followed by a concession speech. Transitions of power then take place in the most civil and peaceful manner that is the envy of the world. This is very different from other parts of the world where concession speeches are not made, and where power is held onto, frequently with force and violence. This is a tradition that should make all of us proud and one that we should work hard to preserve for future generations.
Happy voting.
Happy crocheting.
:)
