Tiny pretty things: Recent FOs.

I like making tiny pretty things. I like quick projects from beautiful yarn, for instant gratification. Here are some recent things I've done.

Socks - Beginning of December to Today.




Anthropologie capelet - Took me two days. The vintage pin is in the shape of a roadrunner.




Newsboy cap - I spun the yarn, then dyed it, then knit it. I'm so so happy with it. It keeps my head warm.


And, as promised, my adventures in dyeing:

This dyed fiber:

Became this:


The right one (blue and green on gray) was spun into singles, but not yet plied, and the left one (green on white) is being spun up right now:


It seems I didn't take a picture of the fiber for this one, which is a shame because it was beautiful. The resulting singles was very nice as well, and I think it looks pretty nice plied with play undyed gray, also.




Here's some tiny little bits of roving I dyed last night, experimenting with a new pack of food coloring and some lemon juice instead of vinegar (in an attempt not to stink up my dorm room when I dye):

Red, yellow, green, blue.

Until next time, sports fans!
