... live like you were dyeing...

Think I ought to quit with these late-night posts? Each night I have a perfectly lame excuse for why I wait until so late... or early? to post. Huh.

Hobby Lobby loot! While wandering behind scrapbooking and jewelry land, I spied some fabric dyes in the clearance stacks. Pfft, I don't need to wait for an engraved invitation like some Houston drivers. Looks as if I can get into all sorts of trouble with these dyes -



Rainbow Rock Dazzle Dye - five fuschia, two yellow, three purple, one green, three orange, and two brown. Apparently this is killer chemical dye, suitable for colouring cotton and poisoning pigeons in the park.

These are the same thing but without the handy squirt bottles.



The loud and distracting background is another clearance find - can't go wrong with peppers!

Finally, "Tumble Dye", whatever that is.



Google has not been kind about explaining quite what it is; all Hobby Lobby had was green, brown, or black, so who knows for what that'll be good.


In a typically half-assed photo comes my attempt to dye some unspun fluffy bits. This is with grape Kool-aid and blue egg dyes; haven't used any of the killer chemicals posted above yet.



Better pictures once it's spun.

Oh yeah, knitting. The making of Purple Pixie being so much fun, Pixie returns! Brown and burgundy(ish) this time around.



Much furrier than the first! But one can never have too much novelty yarn on their head....
