Gray outside
Nov 10th, 2009 by Jacki
So here’s some insanely bright mohair yarn that I dyed.
I think I shall name this yarn “OMG! MOHAIR! KITTENZ! RAAAAINBOW POOPS!’ Or something like that. The weather has been nice the past week, so I’ve gotten a bunch of dyeing done. I should have a shop update sometime later this week.
Bela inexplicably woke me up this morning by howling. WTF? She’s never done that. Toby used to, once every four months or so, but this is a first (that I know of) for Bela. Bizarre.
Other happy things for a gray day: Yan Yan
and sugar cookies:
Been doing a lot of knitting lately. I am in sock machine mode. Also finished spinning a skein of superwash yarn that is destined to become socks.
I’m not real keen on the way the yarn looks in the skein, but I think I’ll like it better once it becomes a sock.
Stumble it!
Love the name of that mohair yarn. If you don’t name it that, I will be extremely sad.
I love the skein even before it becomes a sock. Great colors.
Where do you get your cookie decorations that look like little ornament balls?
Hello!
I adore your Santa’s Ho-Ho-Hat pattern and am looking forward to making one shortly – thank you for generously sharing your hard work! Would you be comfortable also sharing which yarns you used? Did you dye that beautiful red yourself? The red is gorgeous and the cream looks soft and warm. I love everything about this hat!!
Warm wishes,
