off

I had wanted to try Kool Aid dyeing for a while, and when I got several balls of unnamed white wool when a friend of mine was destashing, and Sinead was leaving for the US in a few weeks for holidays. What better opportunity to try! I asked her to bring some sachets, and I got them this week in the Borders Knit and natter evening. So, Saturday night I got to it. I first studied the instructions, and put the wool for a bath (pic 1).

Look what Nic did! We got a bread baking machine some time ago, and it's great! The smell of fresh bread, the easiness, the fun of it doing it togehter - a good purchase. 

Katsohan mitä Nic teki - hankimme leipäkoneen jokin aika sitten, ja se onkin ollut yksi parhaista ostoksista aikoihin.

I started a discussion in Ravelry about this topic :

There is a competition on the Knitters Coffeeswap 3 site , the idea is to post a still life photo of coffee and yarn. I posted this.

This post is to remember the Jokela School Shooting victims, and acknowledge the pain of all their relatives, the shock of the whole Finnish nation.

I lit a candle when I heard, said a prayer for all the victims. It was a terrible tragedy.

Footage from the Myanmar demonstrations.

Free Burma network. 

Free Burma support t-shirts.

Amnesty International. 

On the 4th of  October the blogsphear protests for a free Burma, where civilians and even monks are shot and people are living in the daily fear of death. This since 1989!

The Dublin Knit Collective has announced a Flash your stash -yarn po*n show. I did flash once this year already, but anytime is the perfect time to show your greatest assets - your yarn.

So here it is! I put it all in a nice Flickr slideshow, as I had the stuff up there already. So see my stash!

But I'm not too impressed... there's a few nice things there, but the rest--- no. Take a look.

Ok, there's the Henry. This is actually cool. I won't knit it though, I don't see any point in knitting something that looks like woven just because it's more"manly" and "suitable" for a man.

There's a new knitting group meeting every Tuesday at Borders bookshop in the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. We start around 7 - 7.30 pm. Everyone's welcome!
