Fading

Lynn's Comfort Fade Cardi is coming along and it is beautiful.

She is at the cottage for a few days and will be starting the sleeves.

I've been working on Fading Point today. I made it to the lace section of colour 4. After looking at colour 4 and 5 I decided that I was going to keep going with them. No ripping out.

A little happiness from Rowan. The new colours of Felted Tweed. We should have them ready to sell on August 1.

My chore for tomorrow is to work on Knitting Camp.

We added a new class this year. Dying Sock Blanks. 

In a nutshell, a sock blank is a knitted rectangle designed to be unraveled and then knit into socks, scarves, shawls, mittens, or anything you would knit with fingering weight yarn.

They look a little bit like an unfinished scarf with live, loose stitches at each end.  Sock blanks are machine knitted with undyed yarns and then dyed. 

Take a look at this blog post from Felicia at SweetGeorgia Yarns for ideas of what you can make with sock blanks.

We still have room in all the workshops but don't wait too long. There is a limit on the number of people we can have in the dye workshops.
