I went to Threadbearfiberarts studio on sun for there grand opening...Ihad a wondeful time annndd.I purchased this..
for my ramblin rows afgan..colors are green,cream,grey tan,rust brown...Matt has this great program that allows you to see the different configurations of the block....so this afgan will look very retro..presently I'm trying to finish my top down raglan cardigan out of noro before I relly get into knitting the afgan...also at threadbear on sun I won a great door prize..the Norsk Strikkedesign book and a kit to knit one of the designs inside..I guess a girl has to learn intarsia sometime...lol

I won 2 bags of noro Cash iroha on ebay..color 74...now the color looked great on my monitor...but after it arrived..I wasn't thrilled with the shade(I know..I'm really picky about color,lol)..so I over-dyed it!!..I called Rob at Threadbear first to see If I should forsee any problems(he wasn't encouraging,lol)...so I did it anyway,lol..I used an acid dye(Kelly green)...
and here is the result....I love this shade of green soooo much better!!..here are more examples of my expermentation with dyeing...


Remember this from my sept 16 entry..it is now a lovely deep red shade...
