Wandering Cat Studio: It's so easy being green

It's so easy being green

Green hands - the sign of another successful dye day. Yup - I was up at Mom's yesterday to get pics of a couple FOs (Those posts will follow in the next couple of days) so I thought I'd do a little dyeing.

The plan was just to do one bag of Solo Cat

Which turned out quite nicely if I do say so myself....

But then I might have done up a couple of skeins of potential new base

See those little fuzzy bits... yep... it's a mohair blend! We're going to give it a try and see if it's worth putting in the shop.

Then I dyed up a couple skeins of House Cat. They are going to be part of a prize pack for an upcoming KAL (details coming soon).

And then I dyed up a nice long blank of Barn Cat.

It's going to be the background for my Katzenjammer project, which I hope to cast on as soon as I get some WIPs cleared out.

Katzenjammer looks awesome ... but isn't that an awful lot of stockinette for you? Just sayin.; March 8, 2015 at 12:47 PM
