Logwood yarn dyeing, results

Very nice variety of purple shades depending on the time each yarn stayed in the logwood dyeing bath

Recipe:

✏ Samples of 25 g each of mordanted Cascades 220 worsted (about a dozen to start with)

✏ About 15 g of logwood powder in 5 liters of water

✏ Put 1 skein every 10 minutes in a large pot, 

✏ Remove all skeins after 130 minutes.

The first 3 to 4 skeins are really dark and little by little the skeins get lighter. 

Christmas gift, part 3

Last but not list, this Christmas gift is for a dear friend who always think of bringing me something wherever she travels!!

We had gone shopping at the mall one day together and she loved a slouchy hat at Urban Outfitters but the quality wasn't worth the price so I decided to knit one for her and add a matching cowl.

Pattern hat was easily found on Ravelry and the cowl is just the same pattern but not decreasing, just bind off.

Yarn is Madelinetosh Tosh DK, color Dalia

She loves purple, I love cable!!

Brassière/cardigan Grr, La Droguerie

On me l'a souvent réclamée et finalement j'ai cédé.
J'en ai fait 2 car faut pas faire de jalouses surtout entre soeur.

Modèles du livre "drôles et colorés mes accessoires signés: la droguerie"

♥ Cascades Pure Alpaca #3043/ Rowan Kid Haze #641 pour le grand modèle (violet)
♥ Cascades Pure Alpaca #3031/Cascade Kid Seta #462 pour le petit modele (bleu)
♥ Petits boutons en forme de coeur

Notes:
J'ai du prendre les mesures des filles car le dimension n'allait pas et j'ai ajusté en fonction
Ce mélange de fil est un réel plaisir à tricoter.
N'hésitez pas c'est un modèle adorable, j'ai hâte de les leurs voir porter.
