....granny/baby square



Sometime back, i got carried away and bid on some cashemere wool on ebbay from china. The wool was cheap but when i got it, it was too fine and too soft for a lace shaw ( But did Haruni shawl with 150 grams of the brown) and even better, i realised i didnt have enough of each colour to finish something useful.

recently i decided to start crochetting again, i wanted to do a granny square but i dont like the idea of joinin a million squares, so i decided to do a single multicolour square.

so here it is, it is looking like a baby blanket, so it just might be a baby blanket. I must likely will use it as a throw......the wool seems to go so far, so it could be huge as i dont want to have any left overs.

The colourful square



Some hand dyed Beauties!

So i got some wool yarn and some dyes

Superwash wool selling here

I have been dyeing and experimenting and whilst i have uploaded some yarn on my etsy shop i will be keep some for my knitting as well.

I love hand dyeing but knitting is the ultimate hobby for me!

My etsy shop is updated

FOs

I am terrible at starting knitting projects whilst i still have so many others not finished.

However, now and then i do complete some stuff....... and i got some evidence ( well just one for now)

The shawl is real light...... the yarn is lime greenish, food bluish colour with a lot of white in it .....i hand dyed this yarn last year and for some reason i didnt like the yarn colour outcome.

i am please with how the scarf turned out, we just need some great British Weather to be able to use it now!

Unfinished

Finished and modelled by me!

African print fat quarters

Haruni lace shawl

Here we are.....despite having at least another 10 projects going, i could not resist knitting the haruni lace shawl..... i love it so far. But i must admit i am getting bored of the repeats .......it is a strugle to be faithful to a project for me.

the aim is to be complete by July (realy i only need three nights but who know if i decede to start on a sock)

below are some photos

at this stage am half way thru

You know she got the ball of wool and tore it apart, thank God i have had enough practice at detangling

Another pair of sock ....now completed

Well, we got another completed pair of sock. I feel the need to state that i knit other things but socks at this point. The recent sock knitting marathon was due to some lovley wool i bought recently on a discount and only bought 100 grams of each.........we will soon be back on the normal items i like to knit .....anything really to be honest but not too many socks.

I have also bought some undyed yarn and once received i will be dying and space dying wool....not sure what space dye involved but i have seen the outcome which i liked.

i liked the colours but the sock was too big, so hubby now owns them
