sewing and dying

It's exciting to know that some yarn and some Kool Aid are coming my way.
I've never dyed my own yarn before, so it's going to be quite an experience, which of course must be documented.

*excite*

Kool-Aid?

Current project:
Ball Dress
Shrug to go with said dress.

One of these items is knitted. I'll allow you to make an educated guess as to which one (Hint: the ball is at the end of April.).

The shrug is being made out of Debbie Bliss Maya, in the purpley-red colour... mmmm...Maya... and yes, I did buy it in the sale :)

I've got three balls of the purpley-red one, and three of the orangey-pink one... I have no idea what to do with the rest.
I'd like to make a hat of some kind, but not a boring one... I thought of making a felted one, which should use up one of the balls.
Or maybe a bag.
It's so tricky.
I probably shouldn't have bought 6 balls of the stuff... or at least 6 balls of the same colour.

Which reminds me, I took a picture on my phone of me in a new hat. It's one of the hat knit kits from miss bell


I'm really not very good at taking pictures (this one was heavily cropped to miss most of my blurred face, and desk, although I decided to leave in my piano)
It tool about 3 hours to knit up, and I like it :)

Wrists

ARGH! and OUCH!
Far far far too much piano practice last year left me with ballsed up wrists, and a combination of vaguely inflamed tendons and bad RSI. Of course, taking up knitting soon after probably didn't help matters. It hasn't been too much of a bother, and at least with knitting I can just stop without worrying too much about getting a bad mark at the end of the year.

It still flares up from time to time, and hurts like hell. But I really fancy knitting something now...
In the mean time here is a picture of a cow
COW!
