My first Kumihimo braid. It is very interesting. I found out about it at Loom Knitting blog Cause I totally need another craft/hobby. But it turned out much cooler than say an I-cord. So it might become an alternative to an I-cord. I am actually working a design that makes a flatter cord with a heart pattern. I am doing it in silver and green for my HSKS4 swap partner. Which reminds me that I really need to order the needles for that. And finish the bag, cause I have one month. Begin mild panic sequence now. It seemed like such a good idea when I signed up. Little did I think that the due date would be smack dab in the middle of the two busiest months of my year.Once May 11th hits, I am going to be a very happy person.
To relax, I had a little dying party (hence the title of the blog entry). Anyway, pretty yarn and roving time. I was working with Kool-aid and food coloring so I didn't get a lot of dark colors and most of it turned out very bright/easter looking. I am thinking if I want to keep doing this, I need to invest in some nicer dyes.

My Roving. Corridale wool on the left in yellow, purple and green. It looks like Easter eggs threw up on it.
Alpaca done in a purpley magenta. I can't wait to try to spin this up. Something new to play with.
