Originally posted at Which-Crafts [singlepic=50,320,240,,left] But it should be. I am sure I am knitting the pattern, but it really doesn’t look like the Lovelyness which i have seen in Grumperina’s scarf gallery. It also has a few structural problems, like needing a needle 2 sizes or so larger. So I have decided its a REALLY large swatch (at this point its about 2x the size it is in the picture.) So I am starting again on larger needles and with 20 fewer stitches than is in the original pattern (10 less than the “swatch”.) The yarn is my own [...]

So I snagged the bosses camera (an EOS!!! – now I am totally spoiled) and took some pics of my recent playing with hand-dyeing. I was a bit in a rush so haven’t edited the pictures much, but the colors are pretty accurate as is. For all of these there are more pics on the tab labeled Hand Dyeing at the top of the page.

At the risk of [...]

Most seating is “couch-like”, but if you need a table, or a more straight backed chair just let me know ahead of time and we’ll [...]

this is one of those times i REALLY wish I had a camera – so i could show you some of the awesomeness that I created this weekend. Over the holidays I dyed some yarn for gifts, and got a really good response. This has been the first weekend since then that I really had time to play again. A few weeks ago, I was talking about some of my future dyeing plans to a friend of mine. I was waxing rhapsodic about all the ways I could experiment once I made myself a warping board type thing to wind [...]
