Slow Color

Pamala Weber has teamed up with Tinderbox Editions to produce a book vibrant with the colors of the north: walnut, goldenrod, tansy, sumac. Slow Color: A Practical Guide to Natural Dyeing in the North has come from Pamala’s many years as a fiber artist and educator: it is a how-to book that gives readers the recipes they need to succeed in growing a dye garden, finding plants to use in dye recipes, a guide to a calendar year’s worth of dye projects, and even a few patterns to make beautiful objects using your hand-dyed fiber.

A woman is knitting as she drives (which is totally unsafe, and I don’t advocate it). Pretty soon, her speed has crept all the way up to 95 mph–and she passes a parked police car. The car gives chase. Officer Bob turns on his siren, but the woman, oblivious, doesn’t notice him. Finally, he pulls up alongside her car and yells, “Pull over! PULL OVER!” 

She looks at him, looks at her knitting, and yells– 

“NO! It’s a CARDIGAN!”

  

Why was the sheep arrested on the freeway?

For doing an illegal ewe-turn.

  

In through the front door

Around the back

Out through the window

And off jumps jack.

 

 

Under the fence

Catch the sheep

Back we come

Off we leap

 

 

Down through the bunny hole,

Around the big tree,

Up pops the bunny,

And off goes she!
