Next installment of pictures from dyeing project.

In the last post you saw my pictures of my dyeing day. Now the fibre is all dyed and dried and plaited into braids. I thought you'd like to see how they look now. Once some are spun up, I'll post more pictures. You can buy them at Craft4Crafters, and if there are any left after the event, I'll put them on my Knatters Knits website in the shop.

I just love my job! It doesn't feel like work at all.

Next craft event

My next yarn event is going to be at the end of January in Exeter, Devon. It's called Craft4Crafters. See more info at www.craft4crafters.co.uk.

Today is fibre prep for c4c.

I have been finding knitting and crafting a huge stress relief over the holiday period and have managed to finish a few items....

I made the felted handspun bag, my first ever colour work - a hat, and have several works in progress...

I'm really proud of them, as I tackle new techniques and patterns. I have joined the Sara's texture crafts group on ravelry which has given me a lot of inspiration. I have also joined the spin and knit along, where we swapped our handspun and created lovely Christmas gifts out of it.... I love my mittens which I created with yarn from my swap partner too....
