Colors make me giddy - new yarn!
These colors just amaze me. Its a wonder how I can get these colors with Kool-Aid. It makes me wonder what I can come up with if I used "real" dyes.
The last few skiens have a little dirty secret. The original yarn was from a frogged sweater... an Abercrombie and Fitch sweater! Here's my proof:
Yarrr! That was some nice booty over at Goodwill. I'm gonna head over to the one near here pretty soon. I also picked up a gray sweater with cables. Unfortunately, it fits me great and is very warm.
Here are some more yarns that I dyed yesterday. I am so in love. The colors, oh my!
I'm really on the fence about listing the first one on Etsy. If I do, it'll probably be at some exorbiant price (ten million dollars!) Okay, maybe not that much.
The second one I like. When I did this one, I followed the handpainting instructions I gleamed from a dye book at Borders. I'm a cheapy so I just read the books and make mental notes in my head.
There's also another one in the process of drying. A handpainted in the roving, handspun mini skein. I'm guessing its about 50 yds at most.
As for knitting, oh boy. Haven't done much of it (except making bitty swatches) I'm expecting the mailman to send some knitpicks my way. I ordered Shine in Butter and Green Apple to make a baby blanket for Ryan, Tiffany and the baby. I'm thinking about doing color work. Something simple but it'll be the first time I knit with two colors at a time.
*excited*
