This Saturday was World Wide Knit in Public Day. The Berkley Knitters made a good show of it and we headed out to a local park to enjoy the sunshine (although we all forgot sunscreen and ended up a bit pink).
There was a great spread with chocolate chip cookies, couscous salad, brie, baguette, tomatoes, cherries, [...]
Another dye experiment in acid dye blues for Libby. She is keeping this one.
We played around with the drum carder that I rescued from my mom who hasn’t used it in years. We were pretty impressed how the random end bits of roving Libby had became nice fluffy batts. Can’t wait for Libby to try [...]

This is some yummy Whenslydale dyed with madder [...]

A little while back, the same day in fact as the making of the stockings, my friend Libby and I decided we needed to to try a little experiment with some wool yarn I had gotten in a yarn swap. The yarn we wanted to dye is wound in those little pats that aren’t really [...]
By popular demand, here are the fingerless gloves with the stockings. They where made with the extra sleeve ends by cutting a 1 inch snip about 1-1.5 inches down from the edging. I cut them so the seams of the sleeves ended up on the palm side. Now they are keeping my hands warm while [...]
