Layered with white, handspun yarn and sprinkled with alum in between. Added warm water, shook, and topped off … Continue reading Cold dyeing

This is intarsia, and at times it was tedious. I don't love knitting intarsia, but I love the results! And small … Continue reading Dreams of Flatlandia

The pattern calls for 3 strands kid-silk and 1 strand DK weight, but instead of DK I'm … Continue reading Lieblingsweater
