Dyeing

Last Monday I have been following a dyeing course at Ateljé Norrgården and had a lot of fun.
I have now more understanding for the colors to make with the Jeaba cold dyes.
This is what we did last Monday in good company of Liisa, Catarina, Lisa och Karin som ledare:

And all this with the three basic colors like yellow, blue en red.
Isn't it amazing?

If you like to book a dyeing course and try this out please contact me!
It is so fun to do and you will be truly amazed like I did.

Thank you so much Karin for the invitation.

And on top of all that I got a present as well.
I while ago I have been participating with a trade where you were supposed to find a mug and buy some yarn and send it to a given person.
My trading person was Catarina and she obviously know what i like and here is my gift. I love it!!! Thank you so much Katta!

This is going to be my favorite mugg I think!

Home again

I have had a wonderful weekend at Grötö.
I picked up Marianne at Rasta in Grums and continued our way to Grötö.
Time goes very fast chatting and driving at the same time and in Sweden you cannot drive all the way without having a fika.

You have to take two ferries to get to Grötö and the first one is to Björkö and the yellow ferries are free of charge.

We met Paulina and a whole bunch of other people at Björkö, Framnäs.
I took a lot of fiber with me and the last ferry is only for people so we had to leave the car behind and this is what came out of the car:

We made it save and sound to Grötö and checked in in our accomodation and look what we got as a welcoming present:

And this is what I bought. Not much but enough to keep me busy for a while.
The bright ones I am going to knit a cardigan of from TantKofta and the purple ones I bought from Lenas garn and I still have not decide what to do with them. I just could not resist.















And I want to thank everyone who has made this weekend as wonderful as it was both for business and pleasure.

Fantasy-yarn a la Elin

I have been told to do something with yarn and it has not the effect I was hoping for.
Maybe I did right or maybe I did wrong.
I think the yarn turned out pretty nice.
A bit different and with overtwist.
Sometimes you have to try something!!!
I will see her next week and have saved some yarn so she can show me how to do it.
