Not Completely MIA
Even though I haven’t been posting and keeping this blog too up to date I have still been working on knitting and other various crafty projects.
The other night I sewed some diapers for Princess A and if I can grab some more spare minutes in the day I will post the instructions for how I did it.
Just a few nights ago I finished up one pair of self-striping socks. I was using up some yarn from my stash to make these. They turned out okay. I’m not completely in love with them though because they are from acrylic yarn and I really don’t care for acrylic. All in all they are not too bad. I am also about half way through another pair made out of self-striping yarn. Both yarns are by Moda Dea.
Yesterday I dyed some more superwash wool. This time around I opted out of the natural dyes and used Country Classics dye. This yarn is probably going to go through a lot of washings so I wanted to dye it with something that will withstand some abuse. I am going to make it into yet another diaper soaker. Not too much longer and I won’t be making these kinds of things anymore as Princess A will be 2 in September and is starting to show signs of being ready to move out of diapers. Sigh, my baby is growing up.
