One Down, One to Go

Finished a sock for my littlest. Isn’t it cute? Yarn is my own hand-dyed in my Bouquet colorway (check the shop – link above – for availability). Pattern is a franken-sock. Part Susan B Anderson, Tin Can Knits and the Rose City Rollers pattern.

I have 3 oz in this gorgeous oatmeal color and another 3 oz in a creamy white. My plan is to spin them as singles and then ply them together fo a gorgeous drapey…

I have less than an ounce left of this to spin, and a whole other full bobbin of this spun on my wheel. Even though it’s not finished, it’s so pretty I just had to share. It’s a 12 oz combo spin of three different Malabrigo colorways. A franken-merino spin. 🙂

Today at the dye pots…

Today in the dye pots – a new colorway! I promised my brother a pair of hand knit socks. So today I dyed up some yarn and a mini skein in complimentary color for heels and toes. I dyed up a few extra to put in the shop. When everything is dried and listed I’ll…
