I find the process interesting and might take up Lillian's offer to dye some more yarn for me in the future.
Another item on my YoP list has also been finished. I love making the Angel Wings dress from the Bev's Country Cottage site (free pattern) and often use it for my charity donations. For this one I used baby 8ply acrylic with a 4.00mm hook.
Until recently I resisted the cake craze but when Lincraft released their second lot of cake yarn which was said to be softer than their original, I caved in and decided to try using it on a Road Trip scarf.
I was quite pleased with how the colour changes worked out with this project and have bought another cake in a different colourway but can't decide what to make at this stage.
Not much else to report - thanks for popping by. I'm now off to visit the blogs of other people taking part in the Year of Projects. If you want to know more, pop on over to Ravelry and see what everyone is doing.
That scarf is so pretty. The way the yarn was dyed is fascinating to me. I have never seen yarn being dyed before. Thanks for the photos. I have several cake yarns and love them but......it is hard to find just the right pattern for them to work with. Thanks for that road scarf link. I adore the angel wing dresses you make. I must put that pattern in my library.
ReplyDeleteYour scarf looks really great! Congratulations on finishing it! I am also fascinated by the dying process, looks very interesting.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are all beautiful! I love the yarn Lillian hand dyed....the scarf turned out gorgeous in it! I want to make one just like it!!! The little dress is precious and someone will be so happy! I also want to make the scarf/shawl..I love all your projects and the yarns you use are so pretty. I am a bad copycat but it is a compliment to you and your choice of patterns and yarns and your beautiful workmanship! I can't wait to see what you're up to next! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI love your scarf, the adorable baby dress and the shawl! You're really accomplishing a lot! I'm so slow compared to you! It was fun seeing the dying process.. and the results are fabulous! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteYour Claudia scarf is really beautiful, Dorothy. The dye job on the yarn is spectacular. I also love the little baby dress and your Road Trip scarf. I'm actually working with a cake yarn (Caron Cakes) this week to make a triangular scarf, too!
ReplyDeleteNot much else to report? Oh my you have been so busy and ALL your FO's look amazing. That dye job turned out beautifully. And I love the angel wings baby dress. So so cute.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous fo's. I love the colour of the yarn in the scarf - she did a great job, and it was so nice of her to model it for you.
ReplyDeleteHi there, found you whilst bloghopping :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finished objects :) I especially like your road trip shawl made from the yarn cake. I have a few cakes looking for a project, might try that one!
