It's finally finished--had to slow down a bit!! The horizontal/vertical stripes does work for the Tomten, did the sleeve decrease at the bottom and the sleeves are a 3/1 rib.

Thank you EZ--your genius stirs the creativity within us…

The torso was knit horizontally to make the vertical rib/stripes, an icord was added to the top and the pickup was done on that.

No problems at all--except--garter st. was not a good choice for the trimmings on the combination lace and cable stitch by Barbara Walker. I realized that the lace would stretch and the cable would draw in, so thought that the garter st. would be forgiving--It took some steam to convince it not to wave--guess that a rib might be a better choice?? any thoughts on the subject. Anyway, I'm practicing moderation, but got it completed, and the next experiment is underway!!--horizontal vertical… Continue

The dye goes on!!

I dyed 4 KP sockblanks with Jacquard--following their directions--worked great. The colorblock sweater I had in mind took 3 whole sock blanks--it's a very strong contrast--the question is to over dye or be happy!! It's your vote!!

At 11:35am on July 12, 2011, PickleSue said…: Oh, great! Had to do a search if you had any pictures out there yet, found your response that it came in the Rav thread. :) So happy for you!!

At 2:02pm on July 8, 2011, PickleSue said…: Yes, mostly sun-dyeing with kool-aid. I've been thinking about throwing some in the crock-pot though. :) I haven't used Jacquard dyes yet, but I will probably 'graduate' to that at some point.

There is a group on Ravelry for Sheep Shed lovers. I like to see what others are doing with the wool they order from there. Ravelry seems like such a huge place to me, but the Sheep Shed people are very down to earth. I like that. :) The group is here if you want to take a look.

At 10:28am on July 8, 2011, PickleSue said…: heehee!! So glad I could help! :) I really think the Sheep Shed stuff is very reasonably priced for what you get! I love it! I think spinning is good for you... :)
