from my Colorful Kitchen

To go along with my knitting obsession, I have become VERY interested in dyeing and spinning my own yarn. To spin, I am going to need to take a class and get a spindle.. at least to start. Right now, I can’t find anyone to take the class with me and my puppy needs to go to Puppy Preschool, so I am not going to able to do what I need to do to get to spinning…  :(    boo

As for dyeing, I am already there! So far, I’ve dyed one multi-color skein I am calling “Summer Vacation” as well as two skeins for a shrug pattern I have that I will be doing in brown and green. The green reminds me of fresh cut grass, and the brown will have areas of dark chocolate and a splash of the green and I am calling it “Thin Mint”.

The shrug pattern is quite cute.
  Where you see blue in the picture, I will use my tonal green. Where the magenta is in the picture, I will be using my brown with hints of green.

Stay tuned for the finished project!
