That shawl and a cat bed.

I haven't been really able to use my brain for anything knitting-related recently... but I decided today that I would pick up my new shawl design prototype and knit the damn thing!

Yesterday I spent all day at Baaad Anna's wet felting!

Nicola taught me and few other cool cats how to make felted bowls/cat houses. 

This is what it looked like! (the blue/grey ended up being in the inside)

Here's what it looks like now:

It needs a bit more felting... the inside needs some felting love. It was supposed to look like this: 

Which you can buy for $60 from here!

Never say dye...

I have to say, I am not very good at dyeing yarn. It was a disaster, dye everywhere, fibre everywhere, tears, purple and blue fingertips, boiling water. I was so frustrated that the colours weren't coming out as I wanted them to, but after several over-dyes I was happy with at least a couple of the rovings. Here are some photos! 

The purple and blue are BFL and the brown/orange/purple ones are merino. 

Kettle dyed purple.
