Here's the yarn I dyed a while back that I mentioned in my last post. All came out very good. The far left was something similar to a colorway I saw online that I was trying to work on mixing colors to get the color I want, for example, the yellow straight from the jar is a vibrant, bright sun yellow. I muted it down a bit with purple (its complement on the color wheel) to get the yellow I was looking for.
The middle was a way to use up some excess dye I was storing and came out a lot better than I thought it would once it was set.
The far right is Red Eyed Tree Frog. The red wasn't actually how I intended, but I do like it and I got the idea from using the colors of tree frogs. I used much more green than the other colors since the frogs are primarily green. I am curious to see how it'll knit up.
I've been working on the Icarus Shawl. I had to stop for a few weeks when I installed a new dining room floor and really did a job on my neck. I couldn't turn my head at all for about a week and then only minimally for the next two. So knitting was out, it caused more pain. Other than that, I managed to get this much done:
I've put the shawl aside for a little while since I have another two repeats of the same thing I've been doing this entire time while it keeps growing and growing and I picked the February Lady Sweater back up now that its not in the 90s and humid ... oh its still humid, but more like 70s, so I can deal with the wool of the sweater.
Here are the Buns ... finally figured out we got a boy and girl ... so the boy will have to be fixed when old enough ... which may be really soon considering the way he's acting with her ... ah hem.
