Rust basin update! It's looking pretty rusty. Today I rearranged it all to get the rust printing in different spots. Once it's good and orange it'll have a swim in the indigo vat and then get unraveled to knit something new.

Step one: fold a thrifted cotton sweater into a basin, layer it with all the rusty things from the rusty things bucket, spray it all liberally with vinegar water, dump in the remainder of the dirty jar of dye-contaminated iron water, throw yesterday's leftover tea on top, and sprinkle in a bit more vinegar for good measure.

Step two: wait.
