So Wednesday is our knitting coven. This week was fun as usual, I worked on the toe of the new socks. My god I can not get over how much I love this yarn. It does what I think a variegated yarn should do…a nicely mottled effect. It also is so much softer than the Lorna’s from the last socks. So after I finished the toe I realized I did not want to have just plain stockinette socks so I decided to try a garter rib. I think it looks great but what do you all think.
Pure delight. I need to learn how dye yarn that swank.
And on that note…Behold my dying adventure.
I am responsible for the one on the left and the dark one in the middle. Claire did the green tinted ones and the orange/red one was done by Judie. Anyway I decided to dye the yarn sort of spur of the moment so we used Wilton dyes. I want to try real dying next. It was a lot of fun but I think it will be better when we have a true red to work with. At anyrate it was a valid learning experience. I should probably start my clap. Maybe I’ll knit up a quick bag this weekend out of the grey based yarn.
wow!!!!!!!!!! how much do you charge for those great looking yarns????? this pic replaced our converted cousin from the north see ya wed, phil
