a new shawl and it's adventures in red clay

I had just finished knitting up my Noro mini shawl. It seemed be taking me forEVER to finish it.
As soon as I finished weaving in all the ends I wasted no time blocking it.
I stuck it in a fresh bowl of water and soap and headed outside to play.


I came back in after about 15 minutes, poured the water out, refilled with fresh water and headed back outside.
Oscar was playing in the dirt and I was digging in the garden. He told me after a bit he was going inside to wash his hands.

No prob, I said.

After a while, I headed inside to start drying my newly knitted shawl outside.
I walk in the bathroom to my surprise and find GEORGIA RED CLAY all in my fresh water bowl with my shawl!

After a few big words, I managed to rinse the water and wash out most of the red clay. You gotta love that variegated yarn and I guess that georgia clay also!

Note to myself: do not leave yarn out where small people or pets can reach!

Happy day to you and you and you!
