I meant to post this yesterday but I haven’t been feeling good again, I’m still really woozy and disoriented.  If I’m sitting down doing something I’m usually okay (I feel a little off balance right now, for instance) but I’m having a little trouble walking without looking (and to an extent feeling) like I’m totally shitfaced drunk, so its kind of hard to get out and take pictures.  Sitting around and either knitting or weaving is working out fine, until my head starts hurting, so I have got quite a bit of that done.  More on those things later.

Last Thursday, after my trip to the dentist, I got a burst of energy and decided to dye up some yarn.  Back when I ordered the yarn for my coat and the Alpaka Tunic I also got a cone of natural colored fingering weight superwash wool/nylon sock yarn to play with.  I’ve been wanting a new pair of mittens, mine are fine for now but they’re about to wear out, so I thought I’d dye something that kind of matched my coat.  I didn’t want it the exact same color but I did want a nice yellow-green that I could use with the undyed yarn for a pair of the Let it Snow Mittens from the Fall 2008 Vogue Knitting.  The color is a little off in this picture, the yarn is more of an avocado green and not so neon.  I love, love, love how the yarn came out.  The color is almost exactly what I had in mind, it is just a touch darker but I can deal with that, and I’m very happy with all the different shades of color.  I’m itching to start the mittens but I want to wait until I’ve made a little more progress on the tunic first.  Then I think I need a new scarf to match the coat and mittens and, maybe, a hat.
