If everyday were a dye day…
Wednesday, April 19th, 2006…I could swim in oceans of fluffy, coloured fibre… the coffee would flow freely and music would be sweet… sigh
Excuse me as I attempt to recover from my three-day dye extravaganza. Long weekends are simply the best, guilt-free days to dye and this Easter, I spent Friday to Sunday hooked into my iPod, drinking entire pots of coffee, and covered with dye and mohair fuzz. But ah ha, I have figured out a way to package the Blue-Faced Leceister fibre, so the next shop update will have lots of scrumptious braids of fibre. Each one is about 100g (4 oz). Very fluffy and yummy.
Speaking of the next shop update, it will be Thursday, May 4th at 12 noon PST. There will be sock yarns and fibre as well as laceweight kid mohair yarn. New colours, new yarns, new fibres. Sweet.
Over the weekend, I also managed to finish the Cash Iroha Hourglass Sweater, but I decided I didn’t like the rust red colour, so the whole sweater is soaking right now so that I can overdye the whole thing a slightly cooler red. We shall see how a sweater likes being overdyed.
Having finished that sweater (finally), I started Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Fair Isle Yoke Sweater, but I figure there’s no need to post a photo of what will be 15 inches of plain stockinette knit in the round with charcoal grey Shetland wool.
