Hiya from a.,
My love affair with Sarah Jane continues on. I had dyed 1/2lb of BFL earlier this week and yesterday I watched seven hours of Doctor Who (the latest season in one go - it was an intense day). This watching made me want to play with Sarah Jane all day - though I watched Cowboy Bebop while spinning as I couldn't really take anymore Who this weekend. The two photos I'm going to show you are the fibre and then the results. This is about 1/2 the fibre and about 1/2 the finished product. The colours came out such that a couple of the FLBs would probably kill for it. Anyways here is the fibre:
On its own the fibre is incredibly bright with lemon yellow, orange, pink and shades of all those mixed in. The result is a two ply that is somewhere between fingering and sport weight. Also when spun and put together the colours really softened and melded (it is still really bright, just not searing):
This is just under half of the fibre and it is just under 200 yards. I am really pleased with the results and I would imagine that it will end up being something very cheerful.
This might be a week where there will be a few updates as I have a couple projects right on the tail of being finished and r. has a small canvas that he worked up.
And now because I am completely enamored with them, here is a photo of me in my new glasses:
See you space cowboy...
