PGCE...

In the middle of applying for my PGCE

Its rather scary stuffs!!

Fingers crossed all goes well!!

Dye, dye and more dye...

So, i spent all yesterday afternoon in the dye lab

dyeing up more skeins.
I love dyeing my yarns and getting all kind of crazy effects,
despite always ending up with bright blue hands.

I was pretty impressed with the outcome of all the bright colours!!

I tried the navy and black dye bath again.

As well as trying out an emerald and black dye bath and a antique gold

dye bath.

These worked out pretty well too!

Black and navy dye bath.

Antique gold dye bath.

Once ive knitted this yarn im then going to redye it to

see what effect i can get from it.

Emerald green and black dye bath.

I love how bright the blues are and how pristine the whites are.

I cant wait to get it knitted up!

Ive chosen bright colours and tried to work out interesting ways

in which i could dye them.

Since my knits are plain and simple i dont want a flat colour,

i want colours and patterns that will give my knits an edge!

I have also decided to knit and design garments and accessories for 

my finals instead of knitting flat samples.

I cant wait to see how things go!!

Dye Lab...

So, ive been busy this week in the dye lab getting some more

samples and skeins dyed up.

Skeining up the yarns first though takes forever!!

I wanted a navy dye bath so used a Deep Navy acid dye.

Then it turned out purple, again!!

These are the navy skeins. They do look navy in the photo.

I liked how the silks dyed. I must have skeined the yarn up

to tight as the dye didnt get through to the middle where the yarn

twisted together.

I think this made a really nice effect and loved the patchyness of it.

Patchy skeins.

I tried to get a navy colour so mixed the Deep Navy with an

Intense Black dye. The results of that were Navy!!

Navy Skeins.

Worst thing about skeining and dyeing the yarns up,

is then unravelling them!!

It takes soo long unravelling and balling it all up! :(

:(

Is freaking out at the fact fmp hand in is six weeks today!! =/
