What's the First Rule of Dyeing?

Wear gloves! But the blue and green didn't seem to leave any color on my hands, why was the purple so bad? It's all gone now.

Used just one packet of each color, so the colors are pretty pale, but I still like the effect. I'm calling the color "heliotrope."

An Afternoon with Sharon

I took another class about knitting with hand-dyed yarns. This time it was taught by Sharon McMahon of Three Irish Girls at Bobbin's Nest. It was very entertaining and informative. I'm looking forward to trying some new techniques with my hand-dyed and handpainted yarns.

And we got a swag bag, plus I bought more yarn, of course...couldn't leave it there...not after seeing it all week at the office!
