Sock In Progress
Have you noticed that when it gets cold, you start to knit more? Maybe it is just a problem for me, but as soon as the forecast mentioned a chance of snow, and the sky clouded over and the cold rain began to fall and the wind began to howl, I couldn’t wait for my freshly dyed wool to be completely dry. It is mostly dry, and that seemed to be good enough for now.
wool dyed with turmeric, onion skins (partially overdyed with beans), black bean dye, and bean dye dipped in ammonia
I wound it up into a ball….
….and promptly cast on for a new pair of wool socks.
the colours look a little different in real life.
The colours are pretty exciting, and I think I might just turn on a movie and knit late into the night. I’m sure by the time I have them knit, it will be sandals and shorts weather once more.
