Kitchen Swap

I was in a kitchen swap with Woolaholics.

I can post about these as I know that my swappee has received them.

This was a challenge as I had no idea where to start.

After many hours searching the net I finally decided on these.


I made a knitted tea pot cover with two mug covers as well as some coasters which were crocheted for the cups and a larger one for the tea pot and included a box of green tea.

This was a blend of knitting and crocheting. My crocheting is very limited.

Hoping my swappee likes them.

Dyeing Day

I have been having fun today, dyeing up a storm.

Because this Saturday our local Spinning and Weaving Guild is happening there open day.

I have been asked if I would take some of my Hand Dyed Yarns, Tops, Stitch Markers and any other goodies that might sell.

So I thought I better go a move on and start dyeing some stock it was great to be doing this in my new room some much room to move and spread myself out.
I was able to spread out 4 skeins at one time and just walk right round my work bench. I am so lovely my new room.


Here are the skeins ready to be cooked in the mircowave.


Here is a closer look at the skein.


Here is one for all those spinner out there, Merino Tops dyed in bright colours.
