Undaunted by the recent snow my intrepid bunch of knitters arrived brisk and early for a colourwork workshop at the Yarn Barn. In Milnrow. My lovely group enthusiastically got stuck into mosaic (slipstitch) colourwork knitting, Fairisle and even knitting continental-style with a yarn in either hand :-). Some lovely wristlets and wristwarmers were produced.

Hue & Dye: November 2014
http://hueanddye.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Behind the scenes with Debbie at DT Craft and Design - home, life, love (and dyeing! Wednesday, 26 November 2014. Q&A's - Can I re-dye a garment to cover a bleach mark or fading? Unlike paints which are often opaque, dyes are transparent. This means that the dye will "overlay" the original colour but the original colour will affect whatever dye is placed on top of it. If the original colour is very pale the finished shade will be correspondingly less affected but may still carry a cast of the original.

Behind the scenes with Debbie at DT Craft and Design - home, life, love (and dyeing! Monday, 20 January 2014. Car boot sales are always fun (even if only for those "oh my, we have/had one of those" moments! But just occasionally they turn up something really interesting. And this was my little gem, picked up in Cheshire. What a terrific little haul of old dyes :-)! Local dyes developed and made in Bolton. Must research this further. These dyes are possibly older?

I've been having some fun with needle felting recently - it's a fab way to make quick and easy gifts and decorations without needing lots of expensive materials or equipment. And of course, it wouldn't be fair to keep all the fun to myself so I've been running some workshops, too :-). I'll be running another needlefelting workshop in January - join me at the Make It!

Behind the scenes with Debbie at DT Craft and Design - home, life, love (and dyeing! Thursday, 26 September 2013. For Christmas I received a great pressie, Michel Garcia's indigo dyeing workshop DVD. Since then I've watched it numerous times and I've been waiting to try his 1-2-3 indigo vat for ages but it took me a while to gather up the materials, the ingredients (and the time! To give this a go. So how did it go? I combined the indigo and calcium, shaking them up (with the lid on! And in they go.
