Just done a litte re building over the weekend at the melbourne craft and quilt fair. Can you believe you can get 100% pure silk to knit/crochet with??? I know, decadent and delish! <br /><br />Secondly thanks for the hat pattern - I've never knitted anything in the round despite owning a pair of circular knitting needles - are they the ones to use? Because...<br /><br />Thirdly, I think I'm going to have a go at your knitted hat... you make is sound so easy! And it's looks so nice. Hat's off to farmer boy on a lovely yarn selection.<br /><br />Lastly, yes quitely planning something super duper exciting... going to take over our suburban block back yard with a big mandala shaped veggie garden... 6 wedge shaped rotating beds and something pretty in the middle... yet to put pen to paper and start 'officialy' planing...but, the decision has been made.

Yes, you wind the wool into a ball before knitting. I used to put the skein over the back of a chair or have my patient husband hold his hands out so I could slip the wool over and then wind.

I passed up the opportunity to go to the armidale wool expo and am sorely sorry now! <br />Right now in far north qld there's no yarn tone found easily!! <br />I have just added some more meters of Eco printed plant dyed silk to my stash. I am waiting to learn how to sew t into garments, but in the meantime happily stroke it sniff it and drape it around! I posted the basic guide to how to plant dye on my blog last week Rosalindentree<br />I have dyed yarn this way ( alpaca chunky) taking care to not agitate it in the hot hot water. Not boiling and leave it in overnight. Purple cabbage yielded pretty lilac and grey tones and onion skins a warm golden brown. <br />In-joy of crafting<br />RoselindeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-82427918482188345382012-07-29T11:32:25.390+10:002012-07-29T11:32:25.390+10:00I'm having a serious case of yarn envy right n...I'm having a serious case of yarn envy right now!Samantha Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512085955077668768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-77576139956177092272012-07-29T08:32:48.634+10:002012-07-29T08:32:48.634+10:00Oh I can feel the warmth from here Kate, congratul...Oh I can feel the warmth from here Kate, congratulations on the CS blog too!
