dye days of may spent more time than I ever wanted dyeing my hands fuschia! It was fun, but tiring. And a headache the next day bugging k8 to figure out what the heck we actually dyed. But we got tons of pretty yarns and rovings, and not *all* felted...

first up is a nice bulky falkland single:

then two skeins of bulky soft merino (which I love love love- will be hard to give up if I sell it!):

and lastly, a less-bulky skein of merino, still lovely and soft!


kate's sidewalk is so much more picturesque than my carpet, eh?

we also tried our hands at dyeing self-striping sock yarn... it was a learning experience! Both methods were just awful.. the yarn turned out okay, though one was rather felty. Pictures eventually! Needless to say, I'll be buying regia for any sock striping needs from here out!

haha.. i also ran for about 45 minutes after I got lost getting back to kate's house... was extended from my 25 minute run around the lake. sigh. I should get a compass already. I don't mind driving around in circles, but it's a bit silly to pass the same house 3 times running. :( no run today either- my legs are beat!  ¶ 18:50
