Sick house
Now my husband is sick! Jeesh! You know what that means don't you...... Yeah, he's a big baby! Sigh...... Not a lot of fiber goodness got done. Well, not as much as I would like....
I did get my crochet scarf done
I really should have made this wider. I think it is too thin. It is long enough but too thin.
I also got this done
What is it you say? Why it is another scarf! The pattern is from here. You have to scroll down a bit. It is called Encharpe Part 1. I didn't put beads on yet. I haven't found any to put on.
Specs:
Yarn: Louisa Harding Kimono Angora
Pattern: Naive Knitting's Encharpe Scarf
Needles: US 7 Bamboo
The yarn color in this picture is very accurate. It did break easy though when I was weaving in the ends. I also did a 3 needle bind off to join the 2 ends. It looks sorta sloppy, but it is just for me so I don't mind. Do you think I could count this for a Project Spectrum project? It is pink.....
I also did some more dyeing this weekend:
I really need to branch out. I think I said it before, but I am getting a little tired of the kool aid. The colors came out pretty nice though....
Over and out.

If your husband is anything like mine... oy! You'd think they'd never been sick before in their lives. Good luck with that one. :)
Your scarves are beautiful and I love the saturated colors you always seem to choose to work with.
10-4 good buddy.

And I like your crocheted scarf as a cute accessory to be worn all day long, winter or spring.

Your yarn turned out fabo! And your crochet scarf is seriously rockin'!
I started using acid dyes a while back for all my dyeing, sometimes I miss the smell of koolaid but not too much! If you want to branch out I could probably send you a couple colors. A little goes a long way! Let me know! ;)

I so want "Happy Hooker" and now that I've seen your completed scarf..! It's gorgeous... I actually really like how thin it is.

I love the new FOs- and of course the yarn. I think I mentioned earlier, but I really think you should try the Wilton dyes, which you can find at any regular craft store, and maybe even W@lm@rt.

Hi from Austria! You did such an amazing job with these two scarfs, they look gorgeous - I especially love the color of the second one! Hopefully your husband is feeling better by now!
