In one's journey, are the answers from within or found elsewhere in something unseen or unexpected? And what's WOOL got to do with it!? Kirk Dunn's got a whole lot to say about that! He just may be the quintessential fibre artist with his vivid creativity, unscripted purpose, unwavering discipline and outlandish vision. The resulting three knitted "Stained Glass Window" panels and fifteen years' crusade became the axis to his One Man Show: The Knitting Pilgrim. The accomplished actor picked up knitting on the side, later studying with Kaffe Fasette. Unlike three generations of ministers before him, Kirk is not ordained but what he professes in his life's journey should be open to all who open their heart and mind to a better place...a better world. And the genius and colour-work in every stitch of those masterpieces should be glorified. Come MEET KIRK! He's kind, humble and did I say charming? You'll like him a lot!!

Meeting ID: 853 2256 2123 Passcode: 084112How to use Rhubarb leaves as a mordant for natural dyeingCabin Boy Knits2021-05-26 | Don't throw away your rhubarb leaves. Join me as I explain the simple process of extracting the tannin from Rhubarb leaves to make a great mordant for natural yarn dyeing.
What you need 1 pot used exclusively for natural dyeing water heat source Rhubarb leaves gloves knife/scissors strainer bucket for straining timer canning jars pen for labelling jars
Rhubarb mordant recipe
fill pot with water (up to 2 inches (approx) below the top of the pot) add chopped up Rhubarb leaves let simmer for 1-2 hours let stand for 30 mins pour in mason jars label jars use right away or keep in a cool place like a refrigerator
When using mordant for dyeing:
Ratio of fibre to mordant is 2:1 For example: if you are dyeing 2 pounds of wool you will need 1 pound of mordant liquid (16 ounces). Add the mordant solution into the dye pot and fill the rest of the pot with water.
To achieve the colour of Green or yellow as demonstrated in the episode
Adding 1 tbsp of Alum to your Rhubarb mordant will give you a yellow colour. Let fibre sit in the dye bath for two hours. Wash yarn thoroughly and let dry.
Adding 1 tbsp of Iron to your Rhubarb mordant will give you a green colour. Let fibre sit in the dye bath for at least two hours. Wash yarn thoroughly and let dry.Cabin Boy Knits Canadian Interview Series with Sylvia OlsenCabin Boy Knits2021-05-12 | If any of us view life as a journey of inter-connected moments in time woven together through people & places where imagination, history and time crisscross each day, does it not create an inspirational pattern that continuously evolves if only you go along?

But more importantly, the Corridale story is top of mind and also in the dye pot with Marigold, Madder and Indigo. Meanwhile, the Other Guy's knit-along had a Global Following too and oh how we love to make new friends! Each one connected through knitting with shared tidbits of storytelling from their corners of the World. And...we got seed....can you say: "Cutie Patooti" ? That's how the Grand Prismatic Seed company sows its line of dye plant seeds online. With that tag line and the photos to prove it, who wouldn't want that seed! Finally, guess who's back where he belongs and he's in the kitchen. First times don't come often and Jamie's got a bun in the oven...well, ok...it's pain de campagne. Mmmm goodness!
