OOAK Happy Accident on Peace Fleece

OOAK Happy Accident on PF, a photo by s_gilly_5 on Flickr.

This yarn, believe it or not, started out with blue, pink and yellow. But in the baking process, the blue and yellow ran together making this amazing orange-y pink colorway I call One of a Kind Happy Accident!

These are up for auction on Hyenacart right now, http://www.hyenacart.com/gillyweeds.

Hardly collab longies

These were so much fun to make! I had a skein of Purewool 3 ply, in the Hardly colorway, with matching trim. I have a pair of longies for K knitted from this yarn, and the matching shirt for her came from Lilikoi Lane. So I thought it would be fun to do a collab with Crystal again, using the same colors and the same fabric for the shirt.

So, here are the longies, sized small, and the onesie from LL will be photographed soon.

Muggabug will be making a matching pair of shoes to match. I'll be getting photos up of those when they come. I can't wait!

Coming up to stock at Crunchy Congo later in November!

So I've decided to try and blog a picture as often as I can. I've been really bad about this. I mean, it's not like I don't have free time, right?

Here's my latest yarn dying: pastels. I only did these because I had an eight ounce skein of Lion Fisherman's wool, and when I tried to unwind it on my swift so I could dye it, I kept coming across breaks in the yarn. I cut it every time I found a break, and this is what I ended up with.

The hanks were too small to dye into colorway, yet too big to turn into dryer balls, so I dyed some semi-solids. I like how they turned out, and they are stocked on Bella Tesori now. I think they'd make a really cute pair of stripey longies or a sweater!
