365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Planned Chaos
Day 233: Posts for the next few days may be limited or non-existent. We are currently navigating a particularly rough patch, and I would prefer not to go into detail at this time.
This is planned chaos. The mix of wools was listed as "botanicals," so how could I resist? I love greens. I took each single colour, split it into 64 sections, and recombined them in colour order but not necessarily with the same amount of each shade. I spun 16 sequences on each of two bobbins (a quarter of the wool), stepping the colour order up by one for the second bobbin so that when I plied the two bobbins together, the colours changed in combination every few inches. From the original bag of wool, the end result was two skeins of Green Chaos, destined to make some truly fun socks.
