Elizabeth and I finally got together after months, and I do mean months, of trying to coordinate our calendars. I spent pretty much all day over at her house having a really fantastic time. We talked and knit and spun and dyed and ate. We dyed up some roving. Some turned out really well, and some did not. There will be some redying happening sometime in my future. I can feel it.
As for what turned out well?
The reds are fairly accurate, but the blues and greens are actually a big darker.
Some other things I did/discovered while hanging out with Elizabeth:
- I need hand carders.
- I got a lot of knitting done on the hat.
- Elizabeth can rock the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich lunch.
- I should never try to give my husband a specific time as to when I will be home when I am doing something fiber-related. Otherwise, I make a liar out of myself.
Hey, I overdyed part of what I ruined and it came out fairly decent. Not gift-able decent, imo, but useable, I think. It was fun! We’ll have to do it again.
