You’ll never believe it, but in this past week I’ve done some knitting, dyed some roving, and spun up some wool!

I dyed up 2 5oz-ish hunks of BFL fiber last week and just finally got around to taking pictures this weekend. I was going to post them both to the Etsy store, but when I went to do the upload for this one, I just couldn’t do it. So he’s staying with me and is going to be socks, I think.

I named this colorway “Biff Spilled Sangria in the Swimming Pool Again”.

Just look at that face. Could you give it up to a stranger?

This one is “Nightfall in the Enchanted Forest”. I love it too, but not as much as my happy happy green and blue with purple splashes little Biff.

I finished knitting the Berry Hill mitts and I’m very happy with how they turned out. They took a good 3 days to dry on the drying rack after washing, so I just got some pictures today. I have a metric ass-tonne of this yarn left over, so I’m going to use up the rest by knitting a Calorimetry or some other earwarmer type project to match.

Note: taking in-focus pictures of your own hands is very hard, even with a mini-tripod and a self-timer. I got a bunch of blurry pictures, some with a garden hose, a bag of topsoil, my feet, and other fun stuff in the frame.

And lastly, I started knitting the Dreaming of September yarn into some simple short-cuffed ribbed socks. The yarn is soft and squishy and dense and the colors are a constant surprise. I couldn’t love them more if they were made of sour cream. I hope I have enough yarn to finish them.
