More on Wool dye
Hi
Here are a couple more photos of the wool I dyed. This was after I wound into skeins. I already made the one on the left into mittens, well, actually I need to go around the cuffs with Single crochet, cos they don't look finished to me!
But here are the skeins. It was long going, but I love the way they look! I think I am going to make the one on the right into socks first. The one hanging on the chair-back is the middle skein.

Thoughts for today... this really works!
Matthew 11
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I know so many of you love to make Barbie clothes for your kids or grandkids. I thought I would post one of my patterns on here and you can find more here:

Since my daughters stopped playing with Barbies, I haven't made any but I really should and they can be put away to give to grand-daughters some day. Hey! I have 2 sons who are married now, how long can it be? ;)
