Off to learn to dye…
….that’s dye not die!!!! I’m really excited that tomorrow I am off to spend a day on a workshop at The Natural Dye Studio learning to dye with natural materials.
I have no idea what to expect as Amanda at the Dye Studio admits she’s never run a workshop before but I’m hoping that by the end of the day I should have a couple of skeins of yarn dyed by me that I won’t deel too ashamed to knit up….will share photos once I get home.
Meanwhile, here’s a picture of my new hair-cut and an “in-action” shot of the mug my ISE4 pal, Mamere Knits Too Much, sent to me.
I made a HUGE mug of chocolate (it holds about a pint!) sprinkled on some marshmallows and then used the chocolate spoon to stir - it was hazelnut flavour and melted perfectly……yummmmmmm!
Off to bed now as I have to get up early tomorrow for the 2 1/2 hour journey to Suffolk.

Great photos! Love the new hair do! I hate my hair at the moment, hopefully my hairdresser can sort it out on Friday! It has taught me not to dye my own hair to save money! I have ended up spending more trying to sort it out. It`s still very ginger like! lol
Anyway on the subject of using dyes!, I love the idea of using natural elements for dying yarn and fabric. Hope you had a fantastic day on your workshop?
Yep! I love BIG cups of tea and hot chocolate (not together mind you, that would never work!). Graham hates them! It must be a “man thing”!?
