Laila's Seamless Kimono

Hot off the needles is Laila's Seamless Kimono

Knitted from wool I dyed myself :)

First time I've ever done and embellishment - go me!!

My little model. Impossible to get a decent pic lol
Believe it or not this is the 3-6month size with added length!
My girl is so petite (although the sizing runs big on this pattern I have heard)


I asked her to smile and this is what I got lol!

Dyeing dyeing dyeing

Having lots of fun with dyeing lately. Not sure what I'm going to do with all these yet lol!

200g Woolganic (Organic Merino)

"Tabula Rasa"

An overdye job on a wool I wasn't happy with.

150g Cleckheaton Country 8ply

"Sunset Dreams"

This was my PIF present for Tasha :)

I think she liked it ;)

"can't remember what I called it" lol

This was a test-dye of 50 baby Merino before I let loose on my Woolganic hehe!
"Test Ta/Ra"

Another overdye on 100g BWM Colonial

"Swirly Purpley"


Just playing with colours here.
50g Cleckheaton
"Kaleidoscope"
Love how this turned out. Am going to try to replicate it on 200g when I get some more wool!

I've got a couple of Gaywool dyes coming soon and I'd love some more Landscape colours to play with :)

Finished scarf huzzah!

Finally finished this scarf. Knitted in Moda Vera Picchio - a superwash merino/silk blend. It is ohhh so soft!

This is the first scarf I have ever knitted that it is NOT in stocking stitch or garter stitch lol! First pic is the true colour of the scarf - second pic shows detail better :) Really pleased with it.

Laila's Gorgeous Gradient Top

Bought this gorgeous gradient dyed wool from Jolly Jumbuck recently.

Decided to make it into a top so knitted 85% then didn’t like it the shape so frogged and started again.
Started from other end of ball this time as I thought the hot pink would look better on the bodice. Also didn’t want so much of the blue colour in it so chopped most of it out (sorry!) then panicked about having enough wool left lol!

Looked a bit short but since washing and blocking has lengthened beautifully and is perfect length now :)

The model ;)

In the pic of her wearing it is wasn’t blocked yet (what can I say - I’m impatient to try it on lol!)
