Lovely evening of knitting tonight at the Front! Nice to see all you ladies and meet some new people too. A big thanks to Paul the lovely owner for letting us hang out there!

Here are a couple of photos of yarny goodness...

On our dyeing night at H's, we had a really nice bottle of wine, which we really wanted to drink...but couldn't open due to a lack of a corkscrew! So, we gave it a go with H's pocket knife... the cork broke... we scratched our heads for a while, then I randomly turned up on the doorstep of some mates of mine who live down the street from H asking to borrow their corkscrew!! The long and short of it was that we ended up needing to filter bits of cork out of the wine... so here is H pouring our wine out of the coffee plunger!! :) I love it! (Note the wool dyeing in the background!)

Our finished product hanging up to dry. We followed Ms Spideys instructions for dyeing with food colouring. Great results for a first try we thought! (but Ms Spidey, how do you get the vinegar smell out of the wool?)

And here is my stash all systemised!! The nice purple and blue wool right in the middle of the shot is some gorgeous hand dyed mohair Mr Purl's mum bought me when I was going through my quarter life crisis. Isn't she sweet?? That's the kind of future MIL a girl wants!! Now all that remains is to figure out what to make with it!!?
