First off, I’m really happy with my latest dyeing experiments. The BFL came out very vivid and I can’t wait to see how it spins up.

The alpaca came through the process just as soft and fluffy as it was before I started messing with it , and since it was in such narrow sliver form, I decided to loosely wind it into puffballs for storage, or what I’m now calling ‘PacaPuffs. They look like cute soft squishy little Tribbles!

At least that’s what I thought, until I saw this picture. Does that thing look like a screaming Cyclops Mummy, or what?

I’ve also just finished knitting Liesl. I loved this pattern. The sweater is washed and blocked and still too wet to wear, dammit. I need to decide what to use as a clasp at the neck…I could use a shawl pin, or a regular pin, or a big button. I’ll need to audition some possibiities.

There’s also been a new addition in Fairy Door Land. My fairies now have their own spinning wheel!

I could not resist when I saw this at Enchanted Gardens. The selection is amazing: fairy doors, fairy houses, and anything you could possibly need to furnish them, inside and out. They ship very quickly, too!
