Crock Pot

The Crock Pot is here! No, I am not going to start slow cooking, I am going to dye in it. It is perfect for that, it heats from the sides, it stays just under boiling or lower, you don't need to be on the stove in the kitchen, it has a glass lid, it is sturdy and it seems to do the job really well. I am experimenting wildly, a film will pop up sooner or later, and Ill tell you all more about it when I know more about it. :)

No more sun for us....

Since the we in Sweden (and other places this horribly far north) can now expect only, say four hours of light, note that I am saying light, not sun, here, a day, I felt it was a good idea to set up my little "photo studio box". With some lights and a good flash, and a great camera, the pictures are coming out really nice. :)

I am in a jewellery show in Berlin! 
Well, my "Remember and Dream" collection is anyway! If you have the opportunity, go and see it! 

Look! My name is in there, and my jewellery to, but, look, my name! ;)

Sockies

I really liked dyeing sock yarn, I have to try knitting with it soon too. But I can tell you it is really good yarn, it is soft, tightly plied and very stable. A good sock yarn in my book!

Marmolejo Socks

This is a new pattern of mine, using an afterthought heel but with a gusset of sorts. They are very comfortable with no digging in or strangling of the foot. Great pattern for hand spun, wildly variegated or self striping yarn.
The Marmolejo Socks are for sale at Ravelry! And I could use a test knitter or two, so if you are interested in getting the pattern for free, let me know.
