Dried and ready to divide
I am dividing it into manageable lengths...in this case 10 yard pieces.
I had a little leftover dye, so rather than waste it I threw in a few pieces of silk
Not as intense as they are when done with acid dyes, but still pretty vibrant.
And on the knitting front, my first piece (the scarf) is nearly done. I can see vast improvement from the beginning to now. My new Harmony circular needles and book came from KnitPicks today, but sadly 1 pair of needles was broken. No worries though, I had ordered 3 pairs; and after a quick phone call the replacements for the broken ones are on the way! Great customer service!
And I actually found a couple knitting books in kindle version...this is one I bought
The iPad is great for books like this because you get the color pictures too, not just the text. And with the latest upgrade to the kindle app, you get pages that open side by side just like the book, so that is great when the directions span both pages.
So as soon as I get this scarf done, I can try out my new needles and a hat with my own hand dyed yarn!
I have that sock book too but the clearest directions I've found are in the book vie got posted on my blog. Knit picks also has a video series that's helpful. I only arched one section but it helped me understand how I needed to pick up my heel stitches.
