I'm having a funny old time at the moment, people close to me having OMG Dramaz and the like, so I've been a little preoccupied of late. However, good stuff has been happening too and because I'm a cheery sort I'll skip right over the crap.
Good thing no.1. Izzy is much much better now, she actually feels like a cat now rather than a bag of coathangers. On the flip side she has now turned into a speshul snowflayke princessy nightmare. Obviously she got a little too accustomed to being fattened up and now we can't even go near the fridge without her shouting at us for titbits. Sigh.
Good thing no.2. I won a year's supply of Tetley tea! Twitter is a marvellous thing you know. I've been retweeting every Friday for weeks and never thought I'd win, but win I did and when it arrives I shall finally have an answer to the question of how much tea is a year's supply of tea.
Good thing no.3. I dyed some yarn and it is good.
I've attempted brown a few times by mixing up colours and got something unexpected each time. This time I used some brown Sugarflair paste which seems to have worked really well. I used 3 jam jars for this yarn, the brown in one, some pink Silver Spoon food colour in another and some lemon lime KoolAid in the third. I dunked a corner of the skein in each and microwaved the lot. In an ideal world I'd have left a little less yarn in between each jar because I think I have too much white but I like it anyway.
Good thing no.4. Rowan have finally brought out a
magazine I like (which is sort of bad because I really don't need to add projects to my queue!) after I stopped my subscription a couple of years ago. There is even something in there that I might knit for my wedding - although I'll have to get cracking on that one if I want to get it done on time, so maybe not.
And Good thing no 5.... will have to wait until tomorrow when I can take some pics of the really great new fibre I got in the post the other day. It's worth waiting for, at least it was for me!
