Baby projects

 I'm wondering if anyone even reads blogs anymore. I feel like even podcasts are going away.  I don't know. Maybe it's just me. But, I'll write this like a journal of my projects just for fun, I guess!

I created a baby hat and baby sweater for my granddaughter. I'm too excited to see her in it! It was knit top down all in one piece and the hat was knit in the round.

I don't have pics on my computer so I'll have to come back to add those. The color is lavender or lilac, which is the chosen signature color per my daughter. LOL. I had colors assigned to my babies because they were triplets but I've not heard of it for singletons. My daughter is a perfectionist, however, so I will do what I can to comply.

Yarn dying with Kool Aid

Image
I have knit and crochet for years now.  There are two pieces of this craft that I haven't experimented with yet.  I was intrigued, but intimidated by dying.  I have little desire to spin because I can't possibly fit a wheel in my house and I think it will kill my thumb joints, they already holler when I purl. But, in searching for summer activities for my girls, 12 year olds, I went by a little shop in Hayesville, NC called Two Busy Hands.  The owner, Roberta, hosts classes regularly.  My girls and I decided to take a yarn dying class.  Using Kool Aid.  Sounded fun!  What sold us was the vibrantly colored balls of yarn in cupcake paper wrappers that looked so enticing! And, so we went.  Not quite knowing what to expect.  The girls were moderately excited to create their very own pattern on yarn. I was, meh, happy, to participate and learn. http://www.ravelry.com/people/PickandPurl/stash/bare---merino-wool-silk-fingering-weight/slideshow?fullscreen=1&
