I love fiber arts!
My newest project and quick knit obsession.....
The greenish/bluish one I have actually worn, it stretched the lace a bit, that's why it looks narrower. They are both wool and need blocking to open the lace. And...best of all, the headband actually stayed in my fine, slippery hair! Yay! I think the wool has enough grip to not slip out.
Yes, finally a sunny day yesterday.
From simple beginnings.....
To colorful wonderfulness.
I think I got my light yellow...It is a smidge brighter than my monitor shows it....Dh and I walked by oohing on aahing all day as it was drying on the deck. It is a lovely yellow.
My first yellow skein came out too bright! So, to tossed in some green dye.
And got this lovely variegated green and yellow skein.
It is really, really pretty irl.
BTW...Notice the difference between the tidy yellow skein and the rat's nest green skein? That's the difference between a well tied skein vs. a not well tied skein when tossed into the pot! Luckily, dh loves pulling apart tangled yarn. He has already offered to tame the green skein.....I'm just going to give it one more day to dry completely before we....err.....he winds it up.
Today, I must study. I am up and showered and ready to start my day...I'd best get to it!
