Most of the dyeing from last week. The beginning of a pair of mitts for my wonderful sister-in-law who has been so awesome to watch The Kiddo while I'm trying out chiropractor visits. A Striped Noro Scarf in Noro Silk Garden and Tahki Sedona. It's not as colorful as most of them out there on [...]

Dyeing Again
I finally got off my butt and warmed up the dyepot again after too long of a break. I started with some oatmeal BFL and then did an overdye of some BFL yarn. Mainly just using up some red. I have a few more pounds divided up and ready to go, and I can get [...]

Handspun and Fiber Goodies
I’ve been knitting here and there over the past week, but mostly I’ve been spinning. I’ve been organizing my fiber stash and spinning up some stuff that has been calling to me to make it into yarn. I’ve been dyeing up fiber too, 2 pounds this week! I ordered a bunch of stuff from a [...]

Good and Bad
Let’s start with the good. I told you about the stranded sock I was knitting – well I frogged it because it was too small. I wasn’t in love with it either. So I ripped back to the ribbing and started a new sock. I’m now doing the Baby Cable Rib pattern found in Sensational [...]

Playing Domestic Engineer
Yesterday was a busy day in the kitchen. Early on I decided to make some bread, and even though I left it in the oven a touch too long it was still very good. You can’t really go wrong with warm bread and butter though, now can you?! I love the smell of bread baking [...]

Friday night fun
Since I’ve been seeing a few Ribby Pullis done and also in progress on the blogs, Friday night I finally decided to pull out the yarn (I’m using Janice) I bought for it forever ago and get it dyed up. I first had to use up some old dye I had sitting around, so I [...]

Random stuff and Backyard Leaves
First, thanks for all of the comments and input on Mariah! I think I’ve decided to frog and re-work the top. I’m just not that happy, and I know it could be great if I spend some more time on it. So thanks, again! If you didn’t weigh in on it, please do, I want [...]

Betcha can’t guess what today’s post is about
More yarn. I re-dyed the donegal blend and here’s what I came up with. I am in love with the blue, you can kind of see there are subtle changes in the shades and parts of it look kind of faded. It reminds me of denim. The other one is pretty cool IMO too. I’m [...]
