Lotsa pictures
11 Oct 2005
My camera has been playing up lately, so I borrowed one from work. It is an ancient thing, but takes shots much better than my broken one, so I have a few things to show you.
I have been dyeing some silk. The first one is a colour called raspberry, and I dyed a hank of lace weight with it. This is going to be a shawl of some description.
I think it should be called 'placenta' not 'raspberry'.
The next one is some dk weight silk single from the wool peddler (just google it for the link). It was originally raspberry but I overdyed it with yellow and it came out this great copper colour.
I think this is going to be Annie Moddiset's silk corset one day. Or one of those lace wraps from scarf style.
Alan thought it looked like a yarn trophy.
And finally, my progress so far on Mystery Shawl 2. This is clues 1 and 2 complete. I thought there was a mistake in it in the top part. Can you see it is not exactly symmetrical? However, it looks exactly the same as all the other photos on the knitalong site so I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
So that's it. A quick and dirty post today people.
