A Good Weekend Part DOS

Onto my other adventures from last weekend. I’ve been doing alot of reading and thinking about really getting into the dyeing arena, and I finally got the nerve up to dye one skein. *Baby Steps*
I kept lamenting over what color combination’s to use, so I ended up choosing 2 colors that are very close in color but the color tone is different and one real vibrant color.

Here’s how the skein came out (It’s self-striping):

I really love the rich vibrant blue, as I was putting the dye on, I just knew it was going to be a real pretty blue. The darker brown I was totally satisfied with, it has a nice deep tone to it. Now the other shade of brown, I was somewhat nervous about. I wasn’t sure how it would look once the dye was done setting in, but I’m just so happy with how it turned out.

Look at these colors, I just love them, it gives me the energy and excitement to forge ahead more with dyeing. Not sure if I should give it a name, guess “Blueberry Cake”???? In fact I have a good amount of BFL & Merino just waiting to be dyed.

Some other GREAT presents that showed up at my doorstep this past weekend was my “Hello Kitty” kit from Woolgirl.

Look at all these goodies!

I love these colors, so pretty & vibrant.

A Hello Kitty Stitch Marker! & WIP bag!

Plus I got the latest installment from Scout’s Swag Club, it is POSA!

And for Sundara’s Season’s Yarn Club. Both are lace, and OMG gorgeous! I’m in love with Mahogany Over Marmalade.

Honey Over Hibiscus

Last but not least, I ordered the Custom Knits book. Don’t you just love that green vest on the bottom left?

Look at this, isn’t is pretty? I would really love to make this, perfect for the upcoming Winter season.

Have a good weekend everyone
