I dyed that day (Part I should really keep track of what number I'm up to)

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...
