Houston, we have a problem...

Well, we had an eventful night last night at our house, at 11:30 we heard a loud banging and came out to see flying sparks and smoke coming from our range. The oven door is now melted shut. Needless to say it has bitten the dust. I am feeling very blessed that we were home at the time and still awake so that we could stop it from turning into a fire. However, I am extremely frustrated since I need my range to dye yarn, not to mention the cost of a new range. It will be two weeks until we get our new range (microwave dinner anyone?) and in the meantime my very generous co-worker, Tonya, has offered to lend us her portable range so we can get by, it only has one burner, so things will probably be significantly slower in the customs department. I'm so sorry about this and I'll work hard to get them done as fast as possible!









On another, happier, note, here are some finished customs I am excited to show off. The pics are still a work in progress since it has been cloudy and rainy here for going on a week. I am growing impatient with the lack of sun, but, being November I'd better hurry up and get over it. I'm having a little trouble fitting longies into the space where I take pictures of the yarn so the pics are a little wonky.









First up a colorway that is different than anything I've ever seen, these are yymn, I'm not sure who dyed it, but they turned out really fun!

First the hat






And the longies





And another custom in my 'Dulce de Leche' colorway

Hat


And Longies


And Finally, my newest idea, 'cupcakes' These are mini skeins for scrappy pants or Hudson Hats




I also officially got my Hudson hat liscence this week! Yeah! I can start on some of my orders for those!

I realize that my pictures are huge, and I will try to fix them tomorrow, but for now I am heading to bed :)

I figured it out!

OK, I finally figured out how to post my customs on the side of my blog, and it really wasn't hard at all. I have finished a couple of longies/hats sets the last couple of days and they both turned out very cute! I am excited for them to get dry enough to take decent pictures of them. Speaking of which, my dyeing is taking a lot longer these days because of all this cold weather! In the summer it would dry in a few hours and now it is taking much longer. I am going to try using some fans this weekend to see if I can't get a few of my finished skeins dry so they can get out to their homes. And a quick show and tell picture. A really nice mama bought a few pairs of longies/shorties that were yymn. She sent me a picture of her little boy in a pair I did in a colorway by midnight spectrum.

Isn't he a cutie?
