WIT: Tough assignment this week as I was on vacation. I was sure I'd find road construction along the way, but I only came across a cone zone with no work in progress. I didn't think the widening valleys or continuing erosion of Zion and the Utah countryside would pass since that progress is way too slow.

C-Finished coloring skeins by diluting remaining green dye with a cup of water and pouring over all the yarn. Then microwave twice at 2 minute intervals and cooling between for 2 minutes.
