Quick! Before it reboots!
Yeah, my computer does that. Too often and without warning.
Pink baby sweater: just needs buttons.
New scarf pattern!
I liked the texture of Laurie’s ripple rib scarf and she kindly sent me the stitch pattern. But I wanted something reversible so after much swatching I figured it out and will post it soon.
What’s black and white and red all over? Socks! These took 2/3 of a 100g ball. I forgot to use the reinforcing thread. Oh well.
Lichen-dyed yarn.
A small experiment. I used this stuff that grows abundantly on some of my trees.
6g of lichen boiled in 600 g of water; strained, added 1 Tbsp vinegar and 6 g (dry) of wetted wool yarn. Simmered 1 hour and then let cool to room temp. Rinsed in clean water and hung to dry. It has the most wonderful woodsy smell.
Very cool version of the ripple rib. I'm curious to hear what you did for reversibility.
PRETTY baby sweater! fabulous socks. Lovin' the new scarf, what great texture you've got going in it!
Mmmm, your lichen dyed yarn, I'm usually not a huge fan of yellow (canNOT wear it) except I AM a huge fan of yellow, the colour you've achieved is that nice soft buttery yellow, which is my favourite :^)
love the lichen photos but then you knew I would, right? Could you just catch a bit of that woodsy smell and send it to me? hee :^)
