And the wool that I dyed with it... and my wee friend too! So honestly that dark maroon colour on the far wool IS Black food colouring! It has greens in it too! The center wool is all three of the colours that I chose to use the wool on: Royal Blue, Black, and Cornflower Blue. I am betting that it would never be the same twice! How fun is that??!! I have to say that I really like the Royal blue (front, brilliant blue) It works out great!
So, thanks for looking.... comments are always welcome! I have already cast on for my next sweater. "Wicked" gonna go upstairs and chill with it now......... plan to have progress pics for the end of the week.
OH I almosy forgot to remind you of FIBERFEST!!!
It is on this weekend at the Tradex in Abbotsford! I am not in denial..... I am afraid that I am planning on adding to my stash! But I have a great idea........ and Fiberfest only come once a year! (So I am thinking that if I can find some red bamboo or bamboo-silk blend for knitting shawls for my bridal party.........what do you think? It's fall '08 so it gives me the time to make them!) Let me know!

Beautiful sweater --- can't wait to see it with the buttons
Oh boo. I can't see the sweater well. :) When you add the buttons, are you gonna try it on for us?
Yeah, I have an extra year than you, before me and my FH tie the knot. You would think I would start now on the knitted bridal party stuff, huh....
You have to do a photo shoot wearing your new sweater. I love all the colors of your fleece. It looks like a fleece garden. I have the pattern for wicked but never started it. Are you doing long or short sleeves? And are you putting the pocket on the front?
Oooh, I love how the dye turned out on that wool! Beautiful colours!
And if you think you have time to knit shawls for your bridal party, I think you definitely should! I was a bridesmaid for a friend last year and she sewed all the dresses for the bridal party. It makes it so much more special when you can wear something beautiful made by one of your best friends, especially on such a wonderful occasion.
Looking good!
Nice to see your wee friend making an appearance as well. Does he have a name yet?
I looove the pic of all those colors of fibers! Such saturated colors - makes me want to dye my own!!!
I'm here to comment on your sweater (it looks great), but I was so taken by your wee friend that I had to mention him, he's adorable.
