So. Yes. That's what I did over my long weekend. Well, that and mountains of laundry. I'm linking up with Nicole's {crafting on}.

Yarn!
Where have I been? I don't know, really. I've been... tired? Busy? Knitting? Something, I'm sure.
Over the long weekend, this is what I did.
A possible doll for a little boy several weeks older than my Beast.
First I spun 8 ounces of Corriedale into three hanks of varying thickness (one fairly thick, one really thin, and one "normal" - whatever that may be).
Which I then dyed with food coloring and black walnut dye (the walnut was for the brown but also to dull the other two colors). The tan/orange was meant to be more gold. Oops.
Yesterday I plied the brown and turquoise. What do you think? I want to put it in my Etsy shop but am not sure how to go about listing it. Wraps per inch? Hmm. Guess it doesn't matter until I set the twist anyway.
So. Yes. That's what I did over my long weekend. Well, that and mountains of laundry. I'm linking up with Nicole's {crafting on}.
