So I couldn't wait for leftover sock yarn for the hexagon blanket (there's a pic at the end of this post), so I dyed 7 mini skeins this morning. Yeah I know patience is a virtue and all that stuff, but I wanted to keep working on it, and I didn't have enough yarn to dye a lot today. I snipped a skein into 7 little ones and voila! I mixed up like 10 colors of wilton dyes and got started. I also dyed some gifts of worsted yarn for some people who shall remain nameless in case they decide to read this.
I still can't dye without getting it all over myself and my kitchen. Thank God for Windex (which works better than bleach for some reason).
I'm such a goober.
Look my birthday presents came in!
Some
girl on the rocks sock stitch markers! They are super tiny and cute :). And
Ruby Sapphire Yarn in Okalani. OMG this is some beautiful yarn I am speechless at how colorful it is and it is super soft with a good twist. I'm a happy girl. I am really glad I finally got some of their yarn. I've been drooling over it for awhile.
This is what I've been working on lately...
Another generic hat, this time I used my leftover decadence yarn and the
random stripe generator to make this wee hat for a little one. Now I just need to find a little one that can wear Alpaca to give it to.
Tink is trying to keep it. But I know for a fact that she is never cold enough to need an Alpaca hat.
Ok ok here's the hexagon blanket...
Oh yeah super bright and kitschy, just the way I like them!
