Sick and Dyeing
BySorry for the radio silence, I have been hit with a crazy bad flu – sickest I’ve been in years.
I think I’m finally on the mend though, but alas there is very little to show for the time I was sick except for one dyeing experiment and the progress I’ve made on the lace shawl (which I am now naming ‘Sandy’ after my mom, because this is totally moms colour and mom loves shiny, feminine things).
I present the skein of ‘That looks just like all your other sh$@t’:
And the progress on ‘Sandy’ which passed the halfway mark of the skein at 28 inches by 12.5 (blocked) so I’m proceeding with more confidence knowing that the final blocked size of the scarf will be a respectable 56×12.5 inches. I’m hoping to cruise to the end of the sample knit in the next 2 weeks, after which I can get the wrap size version on my needles!
Pretty yarn :) I especially love how you can see the subtlety of the colour when it’s wound up and ready to go

Well – that happens to be one of my favourite colours too – that and the other you are working on. Orange and green. Especially that green. I have a skein of silk in that colour that I’m selling btw – gorgeous stuff! And funny you called it Sandy….my best friend – Sandi….too close Shireen! I do hope you get better sooner than later. Being sick is just no fun!
Another thing I’m noting – not a lot of people will work in that weight of yarn….I have so much of it ..sigh…oh well! Too bad you live so far away!

We should make a list of our similarities :) I use tons of lace weight – it’s perfect for the loom.

Thanks! So glad to be getting such positive feedback, I’m knitting as fast as I can :) Being beyond the halfway mark definitely helps!

Sorry you’ve been so sick (and glad you spelt ‘dyeing experiment’ that way). Can’t wait to get my hands on your new pattern. Just gorgeous.
