Fresh from the dye pot

"Rainbow Girl"
8ply
"Mudberry"

"Chalk Drawings"

Chalk Drawings - straight from the dye pot before re-skeining. Loving the colours :)

I've got another greeny one but the colours don't show true. Looks more teal when it is a really rich dark green. Will experiment more with my camera to get a better pic.

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!

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

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.
