Dying to dye again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our local S'n'B group had a dyeing night at our home on Thursday evening and great fun was had by all.

We had lots of dyeing, lots of laughter, lots of food and lots and lots of fun.

Those present were Cindy, Katt, Margaret, Sharon, Susan, Sandra, DH and myself (after the kid's had gone to bed).

This is my first effort at dyeing yarn.

The foundation yarn (pre dyeing) was cream Patonyle which became rainbow yarn. It is soooooooooooooooooooooo lovely.

To the left is the yarn this morning after I had wound it into balls ready for me to knit.

My needles were very anxious to get this yarn onto themselves and I didn't disappoint them.

How could I not start to knit this luscious yarn and see how the colours would work out on yet another sock.

To the left is how the newly dyed sock yarn looks when it's knit up.

It is very busy but it looks looooooooovely. I'm sooooooooooo pleased with myself.

Thanks Katt and Margaret for showing us how to become addicted to yarn dyeing.

Miss almost 4 would now like me to dye some yarn to make her a pair of socks in purple, pink and blue.

Oh well!!!! She doesn't ask me to knit her much so I suppose I will do this little task for her. (Can you see my arm bent behind my back while I have a big smile on my face).

Ok then I think it might be time for beddy byes.

Until next time keep on knitting.

The socks are finished. Will post pickies in a future post.
