So, I've been looking for a lime green wool yarn to make a felted tote, but haven't found one I liked. So tonite I dyed my own. Using LB's fisherman's wool and Lemon-Lime Kool-Aid. I think it turned out pretty good. My fingernails are a nasty moldish color, which I'm hoping will go away by tomorrow. It's hanging in the spare bathroom drying right now. I have a few more inches left on the hood of my sweater before it's done. I think I'm procrastinating b/c I'm scared of sewing in the zipper. I haven't decided whether or not to use a sewing machine or stitch it by hand. Anyways, I'm really happy with the way the yarn dyeing turned out. There are a couple bare spots, but hopefully that will give it a little bit of a cool variagated effect. I think I'll double strand it--I want a nice sturdy fabric. Especially since I haul around so much CRAP in my purse.
The MIL just had brain surgery and now has a big strip of baldness across the back of her head, stretching from ear to ear. She wants me to knit something to cover it. I have NO idea what to do.
Can't wait to start knitting with my new green yarn!
