This one reminds me of this gum.
The first one I re-skeined after dying it on a slightly smaller niddy-noddy, which is why the different colours are all mixed up together; the second one I just twisted into a hank. Which do you think looks better? I'm not sure which I prefer.
I got inspired by this person's photos to play with polymer clay again! I made some beads and mushroom pendants. I forgot they were in the oven, so they got a liiiiiittle overcooked. Heh, oh well.
I threaded them into sets and attached them to little cards because I'm going to take them to Rare Funk. I've got an assignment account there, but I haven't really used it, only taken some hats there aaaages ago. I have some armwarmers I knitted that I might take there - I made up the pattern so it's legal for me to sell them. Ftw!
I'm kind of annoyed at Canada Post, I wasn't home when they delivered a package, so I have to pick it up, which is fine, but it is not at the post office that is LITERALLY around the corner from me, or at the one which is a 5 minute walk away, or the one that's a 10 minute walk away. It's actually not that far away, but there are THREE post offices that are closer than the one I have to go to! Bah.
Also, for some reason I got 407 views on my flickr two days ago - waaay more than usual. No idea what's up with that.
I absolutely LOVE those yarns!!
ReplyDeleteI know the frustration with Canada Post - between the cost and the service at times, it is annoying! We have a small mailbox in a collection at the end of the street and my fiance ordered a 7" vinyl record, which the mailman bent in half to fit it in the mailbox :( Canada Post said because it didn't say "do not bend" on the package they weren't at fault! BLAH!
Anyway...I'm really enjoying your blog so far - I got your name in the swap-bot Blog swap! Hooray! :)

Ooh, I have always wanted to have a go at dying my own yarn. You and I seem very similar in the fact that I love bright and bold colours too, so I'm having quite a drool over your photos.
ReplyDeleteBy the way this is Anne aka missanne from the 'I'm a Blogger, follow me' swap on swap-bot. Great to be following you!
I"m not a yarn girl, I don't know how to knit or crachet or do any of that fabby stuff, but I LOVE that yarn. I'm a sucker for rainbow things, and I think I would have to buy the sorbet colored one if I knew of any way at all to use it. So Pretty!!

Just found your yarn bomb in uptown :) I'm making a blog post about all the yarn bombs I've found in uptown, so I'll be mentioning the one that I found with your website (so maybe expect a little bit of traffic soon) :)
ReplyDeleteYaay, that is awesome! I just got labels recently, glad to see they're working :)
ReplyDeleteYour hand-dyed yarns are fantastic!

I think the yarn looks so beautiful! I tried dying yarn with food coloring before and it did not turn out well! I love how yours came out (:
