Dyeing the wool

Orange, Black Cherry & Slammin' Strawberry Kiwi:
Lemonade, Lemon-lime & Berry Blue. Jordan picked the colors for this one since it will be her Sophie bag.

Here is my first attempt at dyeing wool yarn. I used Fishermen's Wool and koolaid, steamed in the sun. Aren't they pretty?

Sophie, sophie, sophie


Pre-felting:

Sophie bag in Noro Kureyon color #170.

New knits for new babies



Three sets of hats and bibs for my swap partners in the expecting swap. All knit with Peaches and Creme 100% cotton yarn. The bib pattern is free from knittinghelp.com and the hat pattern is from Creature Comforts. Easy peasy I memorized both patterns already.

Curly Purly


Second project is another soaker. This one knit using the free Curly Purly pattern and some organic wool in a purple and pink colorway I got off the trading post at MDC.

Leaping in


My first project is the LTK Original soaker. Knit with some Cascade Eco hand painted in Chocolate Pink. Yummy!!! Size newborn for sweet Scarlett
