Last weekend I collected several red boston ivy leaves for a new dyeing session and last afternoon I've started the lab. Here is the result: the leaves have released all the red dye in the bath (simmered a bit and let rest for one hour only).

A casa nuova! (In the new house!)

We moved at last. We have all we need, well the basics at least (water, methane, electricity). It was time to start this new challenge: kids all alone in their own room (Lorenzino too...). It works: they have slept like angels since the first night, me not exactly, too stressed and anxious. But it's just a matter of time. As it always happens in these situations we forgot a lot of things in the "summer" house: my circulars, for istance. This is why I have started a new pair of socks, first of this year (yes, for me a new year starts at fall) and in the new location, on 4 needles. I wasn't used to manage them, but I'm training. I plan a fast trip to Sferracavallo to catch the circulars... and many other things!
