I Love Dyeing

This is so addictive! The white bits are the ties holding it together. ..I used the same NZ wool from crossways. I'll be making Danica with this.

Hey, I apologise for not showing up on saturday, was a tad hungover, which I've not been in aaaaaages.. not recommended to mix 2 pints and 2 wines ... and then drive home... stoopid. I had a great time though, I went to the tav at curtin, they had a beach party theme... was lots of fun..

This week I have tues, wed & thurs off, YAY.. lotsa knitting time, I hope to finish Cleaves by the weekend!! (yeah right)

Crawling Back

oh yeah, my blog. was dumb. can't write. well can write, but only crap .. nothing that's like profound or intelligent or anything...plus I was lonely... hehe.. I'd rather write on the craftyaction blog if I'm allowed to come crawling back???? hehe

OH!! ... I had my first dyeing experience on Sunday using food colouring.. I used that all natural NZ wool, that comes in those big hanks at crossways, bargain $13 for 435 metres! I used half of it and it turned out shite of course (pink & lite blue.. ugh) well I was only experimenting and was the first time, tis to be expected... but I managed to salvage it by dyeing the whole thing again in rose pink yesterday, so now the blue is a lovely purple and the pink is heaps darker. Man, microwaves are the BEST invention ever! I'll take pics and post on blog tomorrow! Now my head is spinning (like a colour wheel :) all the time thinking of what colours I can do next and like how the heck do I make a burnt orange, or a forest green using food colouring, is it possible?

Oh and BIG NEWS!! well not really.. but I'm EXCITED coz Twinkles BIG City Knits is finally here, at long last... so sweet.
