A sweater for Russell in the Natural Navy colorway,
And the Lady Elanor Entrelac Stole from Scarf Style in the Natural Blue colorway.
Dying icing of course (these are the flowers for my final wedding cake for my Cake Decorating class).
And dying yarn.
This was my first try at dying with wilton icing dye on knit picks dye your own sock yarn. I used about a teaspoon of Violet in a medium size pot, and the result was uneven with dark purple in places and magenta in others. At first I hated it and wanted to redye it, but after knitting a small swatched the varigation was really interesting.
This was my second try, using the knit picks sock yarn again, but this time I used a 5 gallon stock pot with 1 teaspoon leaf green and half a teaspoon lemon yellow. The result was more solid with small lighter sections. I absolutely love the color and I started knitting the Twisted Flower sock pattern by Cookie A.
The next batch was this Debbie Bliss Merino DK that I have had in my stash for almost 2 years. I’ve never been able to pick a project mainly because I wasn’t really loving the color. I used a full 2 tablespoons of teal to dye all 9 balls, the result was amazingly even.
The yarn on the right is burgundy dyed over the color on the left. I had 3 balls of this gold nature spun sport, and it was originally intended for the Venezia Pullover by Eunny Jang, but the gold really didn’t work with the other colors. The plus side is that I now have the perfect yarn for some Griffindor socks that I have been wanting to make for a while.
