Two Failures and One Success

Craftwise, at least. Tried making goat korma on Monday, and it failed. Recipe depended on garam masala for most of the spiciness, and it was to sweet. Will look for other recipes, and try them out veggie first (cheaper than goat meat).

Tried dyeing brown wool green(er) today with Procion dye. Proved it was wool by how it reacted to the washing machine (thicker and fluffier, no longer looks worsted), but it did not take the dye. Haven't decided if I will try it with RIT, or just have a thick brown dress. And learned to look up washiablity before I try dyeing.

Strung up the loom for an even more complicated pattern, ram's horns. It involves turning the cards differing directions in batches. I strung the loom a bit to loose, but managed to add some tension by adding another peg. Played with the pattern a bit, and it looks nice. I know how to do it better next time.
