Getting bored

Embarked on this knitting project in April, a shawl…thought that I would be able to finish it when winter comes along.

Winter is here now…. And the shawl is not yet completed….sigh…I have a third more to go….

So far...this is what i have done:



Today, I was in the mood and knitted about 10cm whilst watching TV.... hopefully, I can do the same tomorrow…. Will have to push myself through this one….

Once its completed, I will give it to my mother in law… she saw me knitting and liked it a lot….

Hope she likes surprises…..

Itchy fingers ….

After Saturday, was just thinking about dyeing yarns ALL the time…. Trust me…. I just could not get it out of my head! thinking.... thinking...................STILL thinking....

Was feeling a little bored at home … didn’t really feel like knitting …. Guess what I did….

Voila …..

Gave it away to a girlfriend… color is perfect for her…..

Starters....

Hmmm….

What to say…. Not quite sure….

Thing is….i am not very good at keeping a physical diary, let alone an online diary… but Michelle convinced me it’s a good idea… so I’ll give it a go!

Last Saturday, I was catching up on my work at my office when I suddenly had this urge to dye yarns… for people who know me, I am a “spur of the moment” person. I left work in a hurry and raced to the shops and got whatever colored food dyes they had, sped to spotlight and bought some cream colored yarn (they didn’t have white) and then rushed home to start my little project.

Before this, I had been browsing the internet, trying to figure out how on earth yarns are being dyed … I sort of had an idea, but had no idea how this will turn out…..I was buzzing with excitement and at the same time, nervous I will make a mess of everything…

Cut a long story short, here’s the outcome of my first hand dye project…. Not too bad I reckon…

Now I have a problem….

I am absolutely HOOKED!
