And a lot of frogging too! Just not posting about it! Here are Pear Blossom Socks, Superwash Kraemer Base, (yarn came from here) dyed with coffee. Pattern. A bit tight though


Olympic Hat, one gifted to my cousin, another to my husband. Yarn Ella Rae. Pattern


Winnow in Wollmeise. Sadly only one completed so far. Pattern


A funky beret in Plymouth Yarn Trabajos Del Peru. Pattern


My kind of town cowl in a lovely teal Plymouth Yarn Baby Alpaca Grande. It may not look like much here but it was comfy and cozy during our very cold winter. Pattern.


Also 2 scarves in Classic Elite Firefly — one gifted and not photographed and the other I cannot find in Flickr. And manymanymany socks that I ended up ripping out. Many.


If anyone can remember how to grab the Ravelry button for projects can you remind me how? I seem to have forgotten. Thanks!

New England Autumn

Have you discovered Kangaroo Dyer yet?

Sage
I might have. (Although i don’t remember how…)

Painted Desert in Springtime
I just love the muted colors, and the way she chooses them to go together.

Rooster Tails

Don’t you?

The October Fiber Baristas shipment. This one comes DT Craft & Design from the UK! She sent it along with some candies and a recipe for Rhubarb crumble.

The color is inspired by rhubarb and the included recipe. It’s “Crumble Rumble,” a mix of reds, purples and dark pinks.

It’s amazing how inspiring this poisonous little plant can be! Look at the sampling of pix from Flickr. Many are inspired by its color, taste and texture. The leaves contain oxalates and are poisonous, the stalks not so much. Other plants that we eat that contain varying amounts of oxalates in their leaves are spinach, peas and potatoes.

But it continues to inspire dyers, and apparently me too. Here is Fiesta Boomerang in Rhubarb from my stash.

And Numma Numma ToastyBoo.



And that third one from the left is Rhubarber in Wollmeise.


I find rhubarb inspiring for it means spring and warmth and green growth. And for the next 6 months we will have none of that! Are you inspired by rhubarb?
