Okay... my brain has been running on overdrive the past few days, as you can probably imagine, with the whole 'Knit Now' thing happening tomorrow ... *squeeeees*, so, I thought I would run a competiton!!

I thought it might be fun... plus you guys will win something!!!

The winner will get a skein of semi~Precious DK, or semi~Precious sock... to knit WoollyWormhead's 'Tangled River' or one of the other awesome patterns featuring my yarn from Issue 6 of 'Knit Now'... and all other entrants will get a personalised discount code for free UK P&P to be used whenever you like.

All you have to do, is to go out and buy the magazine, then post a photo of you AND the magazine on my FaceBook Page ...

Simple huh??

My special winner chooser boy will pick the picture he likes the most, so a little hint... make it funny enough to appeal to an 8 year old... hahaha :D

Free Day? It had to be a Green Day!

So, yesterday, we all got a free day, and I got a new green dye...
So, there was only one thing for it. Green, as you all know, is my favourite colour, so, I could think of no better way to spend my free day :)
All these will be available to buy, in my next shop update... which I am currently planning for a week tomorrow.

Sunglasses Please!!

These beauties are what I have been working on this week...

Have done around 6 hours dyeing this week, still taking it slowly....and the change of approach is really working.

I dye what I want, when I want... and it's showing in the quality of the work... well, to my eyes anyway... *GRiNS*

So...I think that my MoJo has returned somewhat :)

All these beauties are now in the shop for PREVIEW only... and the update will go live tomorrow night at 8pm.

What's in my headspace is still plaguing me though...yesterday was a *BAAAAD* day... *sighs*

But, one bad day this week is better than 7 bad days.....so I am thankful for that.

That's me looking on the bright side, by the way...

Saturday Inspiration

This picture was posted on my Ravelry Group "Friday Inspirations" thread. but I was really busy yesterday, so I decided that I'd have some fun with my dyeing today :)

I have called this little lot "Autumnal Fire", as it's quite a topical subject, with the changing of the seasons going on at the moment, and also as a little artistic homage to Mr Wool :)

Whilst dyeing, I listened to a few new albums that Husbeast got for me, namely the entire Rammstein back catalogue, so I felt that it was fitting to name a few of them in German :)
