Catch a tiger by the tail...

There's new stuff bubbling away this weekend, so a heads' up for everyone that I'll have some new stuff here next week....

In the mean time, here's some silly pikkies of me on our special school safari day for book week "A Book Safari" at school....
Just in case anyone's wondering - I have the bestest tool belt - bull whip (for those pesky tigers), an egg whip (for the eggs, ya silly buggers), and a spatula (be silly to have this without the egg whip dontcha think?).
HOLD THE FRONT PAGE! I do have something woolly on offer... 200gms of 10 ply handspun in the bubblegum colourway:

Here's some of it knitted up in roughly 10X10cm square to show you it might look knitted up:

A moment in the sun...

Well, the sun did come out for a moment last weekend (a whole 20 degrees celsius on Saturday!!).... what's a girl to do with weather like that? Dye up a storm of course! So out came the wool and dyes for a bit of a play around. I've had my eye on creating a colourway that was like my beautiful Morpho butterfly that I have sitting here staring at me.... think I came pretty close this time:
Morpho, 18 micron hand dyed merino (300gms available)
$26 per 100gms spun, $18 per 100gm dyed top
Here' s what else popped out of the dye pots...

Seahorse Whinsy, 18 micron hand dyed merino (300gms available)
$26 per 100gms spun, $18 per 100gm dyed top

Bubble Gum, 20 micron hand dyed merino (600gms available)
$24 per 100gms spun, $16 per 100gm dyed top

Super Freak, 18 micron hand dyed merino (gorn, baby, gorn!)


There's a whole lot more dyeing to be done yet, so you never know what will pop up on here over the next few weeks.
