Works in Progress and new dyed yarn!

So I tried my hand at dyeing with acid dyes and here is what I came up with! I am open for name suggestions and opinions!
Here is a pic of my dd's soaker so far, it is on the 'strawberry cheesecake' colorway dyed by Amanda of AV designs
And here is Diane's shorties so far, I'm not sure why the picture came out so dark, I am loving them so far though!

More shorties finished, more started

I finished Happy Vegan's other peace fleece shorties at the cabin and snapped one single pic before my camera died.

I also started a pair of shorties for Diane of Doodlebunz. I have finished the waitband and begun the rise on them.

I have also decided to devote Sunday as a day to knit for my girls and not work on anything else. I have a bazillion projects I want to get done for them especially for winter. I have had some sweet yellow and pink yarn waiting to be done up into a soaker for Allie and since summer is more than halfway done I thought I'd better hurry. So I started it this week and it is almost finished, it should be done the coming Sunday, yeah!

I tried one more venture in the world of yarn, I tried dying with acid dyes. The yarn is drying and I will post pics later. I am liking how it turned out, we'll see once it is reskeined.

Finished Peace Fleece Shorties!


These shorties have a picot edge, it was my first time doing a picot edge and I am really happy with how it turned out!

I got the yarn wound into a ball last night and got the first few rows finished. We are packing tonight for our vacation so I doubt if I'll accomplish much else tonight, but I should be able to finish them while we are out of town.
We are leaving Wednesday morning, so if anyone needs to reach me I won't be in touch until Saturday evening or Sunday.

I've finished the rise and gusset on Happy Vegan's shorties in the Lena's Meadow colorway. I am just about to split for the legs. They should be finished tonight! I will post pictures later on.

Last night I finished Capris for Zenmamma, today I am finishing up the headband and drawstring while they dry.








I also received yarn for two custom shorties from HappyVegan, they are both peace fleece, I should get started on these tonight.

Customs Update

I am creating this blog as a way for me and my customers to communicate and stay up to date on information. I will post pictures and information about where I am on customer orders so that you stay informed! Right now I am working on purewool capris for user Zenmamma. The rise on them is finished and I am hoping to get at least one leg finished by tonight. They should be complete, washed and dryed by Sunday and ready to ship out on Monday! I will try to update this blog twice weekly.
