All the spring yarn dyeing is done. I also have a bit of a knitting update.
Yarn dyeing
We got all of the remaining yarn dyeing done before the winter returned for a bit. It was a challenge to get the drying accomplished in the cold, gray weather. We got it on the lines the day before a small snow storm and frigid temperatures descended on Tennessee.
We are having lovely sunny and warm weather this week. I have had the windows open for the last couple of days. That’s late winter/early spring around here. On Monday we did a custom dye job for a client. It is now wound up and ready for pick up. All of our yarn is likewise labeled and in storage.
I have a couple of festivals coming up in March and I am glad that all the inventory is ready. I do have to focus on one more task. It is one of my least favorite ones; income taxes. UGH! I will probably tackle that today after I finish this post. Wish me luck!
Knitting
Before I get to the taxes, how about a knitting update?
I am monogamously working on the vest design at the moment. As you can see in the photo below, I am almost to the armhole bind off. It would be great if I can finish this up in time for the Middle Tennessee Fiber Festival.
I am already using the third skein of yarn. I am still hoping it will be enough. I hate starting a skein and not using very much of it.
Okay, I will close this short post. Thank you for reading!
Such beautiful colors on your line!!! <3
Your vest is looking good! UGH! on taxes. I hope it's easy this year (I know, stop laughing!) ;)
Thank you! I’ll let you know (taxes) when I am safely on the other side. ;-)
I LOVE that vest pattern. I will add sleeves and knit it as a sweater although my son did say he’d wear a vest…… Best wishes on taxes. My hubby does ours and it’s always best to avoid him while he’s doing them!! Hope you have a wonderful festival season.
Thank you! I am loving it too. I am finished with Taxes and it was not too terrible. I am just glad to have it behind me. The dread is worse than the chore.
