We had snow!

We had some wonderful snow over Christmas. well, i say over Christmas - i mean before but it was still here on Christmas day. So magical for the kids! So i thought I would share a few pics

Another soaker knitted

This is just a practice one...will still have a use for it though for Mia. I really wanted to practice some techniques. I've added in short rows to the pattern and eyelets into the waistband. I also needed to practice kitchener stitch and picking up stitches for leg cuffs. i have to admit I was very tempted to crochet the leg cuffs..lol

Soaker knitting

Waffley Good soaker by Woollywumpkins. This has been quite a challenge so far. Doing short rows for the first time within a waffle knit...its taken some concentration and has been frogged 3 times so far!!

PC Problems

I have been havng ongoing PC problems for around the last 3 weeks which is why it has been so quiet. It all looks to be fixed except for my camera software is not working with windows 7; so, I need to get around that issue then I can upload some piccies of what we have been up to.

OK Karen - Time to pick

Ok so exactly the same solution was used for all 3. Cooked in different ways for 3 different effects

Picture 1. Picture 2 - only a dash of brown more reddy

Picture 3. Dark brown and navy blue with dark purple.

Rox's Soaker

Wendys soaker

More wool

The brown turned a russet red where it met with the purple. Looks fab. I love this colourway.

Ok so here is the next lot, the same batch of dye different amounts of colour on the skein and cooked for a lot longer to try to get the brown a little darker - we still got a russet colour in there. This just shows how reactive on unreactive dye can be on wool. The wool was also soaked overnight in fixer to try to get a better fix on the darker colours.

Going to dye more similar colours in a different way again. as I am just loving this colour combination.
