Since I had to dye it up and get it out fast, I couldn't find a photo to suit the needs of the colours I had in mind. So she got yarn but no picture.<br /><br />I hope she enjoys anyway :-)<br /><br />Here is a photo of the yarn, from my end. I thought I had a photo of them once re-skeined, but I can't find it! So here is the yarn before reskeining, as seen in Cathy-Cate's photo:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwLalAasIcapodkzbCx7dZSXN9k9N3rgSXTcyoE3wOMP2VdrpgNzlIMmhrr3yhPw75TX18UeopytiBkakZ_qxFOud6rk9ANHdo58twSBoxhJsKegCVwkT0rxp1QP4QJSeUMxgS7ug-2uE/s1600-h/P9050007.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwLalAasIcapodkzbCx7dZSXN9k9N3rgSXTcyoE3wOMP2VdrpgNzlIMmhrr3yhPw75TX18UeopytiBkakZ_qxFOud6rk9ANHdo58twSBoxhJsKegCVwkT0rxp1QP4QJSeUMxgS7ug-2uE/s320/P9050007.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246435351645360802" border="0" /></a><br />I used a mix of Jaquard Acid dyes and Louet Gaywool Dyes, and used the hand-dipped/dip-dyeing method, rather than kettle-dyeing, to get a repeatable in-the-round colour pattern.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590375414906126731.post-87887921918038967912008-09-14T21:39:00.002-04:002008-09-14T21:46:36.229-04:00An Angel From Canada!Thanks so much to Ursa, who took pity on my yarn-less state and sent this gorgeous hand-dyed yarn which arrived yesterday afternoon, lighting up a grey day.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj36W2gV9abia_WrHTp8a4-C8cl_DDButzEL3uSatx0sOo5D8n4657er4YEZ-d0mP2q6MyfJ3A28lDuHECViJZGeOFm88lnXJOMyGqZcP7QYvpNc8XG0v093fVIgwHQ79yse5Py9KKpxpYY/s1600-h/hand-dyed-yarn-from-Canada.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj36W2gV9abia_WrHTp8a4-C8cl_DDButzEL3uSatx0sOo5D8n4657er4YEZ-d0mP2q6MyfJ3A28lDuHECViJZGeOFm88lnXJOMyGqZcP7QYvpNc8XG0v093fVIgwHQ79yse5Py9KKpxpYY/s320/hand-dyed-yarn-from-Canada.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246057128369596930" border="0" /></a><br /><br />In real life, the colors are a little deeper -- my very favorite jewel tones.

Bridget was inspired by an early morning sunrise photo she took after a long nights work. The sun is just rising and the dark blue sky is fading into the horizon. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2840941769_7e7090184a_m.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2840941769_7e7090184a_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The yarn she dyed for me is beautiful; wonderful hues of pink, white, red, and soft purple signalling "a new morning" combined with "end of the day" dark blues and purples. I LOVE the YARN Bridget Made for me! i plan to make a pair of <span style="font-weight: bold;">pedicure socks</span>. Bridget also made 5 little silver leaf stitch markers and included them with a butterfly paperweight, breakfast blend coffee, and some handmade peach soap. This was all worth waiting for!<br /><br />My home never lost electricity and i am OK. This was my first swap ever and i enjoyed it all so much. I think i now have a new hobby: dying yarn. This swap has inspired me. Now i just have to study, drink some breakfast blend, knit, study more; so i can start to earn my first money; money that i will inevitably spend on yarn and more swaps!shellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01949497611943868155noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590375414906126731.post-469071970535294792008-09-07T08:15:00.002-04:002008-09-07T08:23:04.537-04:00so sorry.I am firstly so sorry I have not done this earlier.<br /><br />I recieved an absolutely amazing package from Cathy and I jsut have not had time to post. suprise visitors all the way from england kind of freaked me out.<br /><br />anyway Cathy did a wonderful job with dying my yarn I cannot wait to use it.

It's funny now when I look back on the emails from Celena, because it was me that she wanted to surprise, and boy did she! Not only did she dye the perfect colorway for the sock pattern I've been itching to knit, but she also dyed merino/nylon spinning fiber! Oh, the two together bring me back to "The Crush" season in Sonoma,CA. My yarn is perfumed by the fragrance of the most adorable chocolate goat's milk soap in the shape of a sheep. Do you know how hard it is not to eat it! Underneath it all you'll see the largest knitting bag I now own. Oh the possibilities!<br /><br /><br />Thanks, Celena, for all your thoughtful touches. <br /><br />FeliciaSweetPea Fibershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11417549556123047810noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590375414906126731.post-9127243444169192262008-08-26T20:28:00.003-04:002008-08-27T01:35:30.294-04:00Ursa's yarn from SusanSo my package arrived today.

My day was made better when I found this in my mailbox. It's a beautiful tweedy orange yarn, perfect for a pair of Halloween socks. <br />Included in my box was a crocheted business card holder, which is the perfect size for my ipod!! <br />I love the sock yarn that my partner made for me. Thank you so much Shelly!! <br />She also sent me a note that something else is on it's way to me, I can't wait!!

The second photo below is the "inspiration" photo, of Chestermans Beach near Tofino, on Vancouver Island (I'm in Victoria, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island). It wasn't a postcard but a photo I told when I was there in June. Our family goes there every second year, and I love it! I had planned to print out the photo to include in the package, but my printer would have none of it! So I had to settle with emailing the photo to her, and including it here for all of you to see.<br />I call the colourway, oddly enough, "Chestermans Beach". I dyed it Kettle-dyeing style, adding a little extra water so that it wouldn't be too dark of colour saturation. I wanted to leave some areas white to show the fluffy clouds in the sky, a little brown and green for the trees and small islands shown, and some sand, and of course, the blues and blue-greens of the sky and sea. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzy66mzMqO9Zpcy1oW5_Tjy7440lYUwxzblOe1GclbcZi4dG3ev1GnnSgkVZSAucLLDZH99ezicKXvTgLobuk8d-Mzk_1Wr0wvZXTyCYUnWvKIEXIpA-Qt3AssWsayz_e6elpsgxPNa70/s1600-h/P8040061.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzy66mzMqO9Zpcy1oW5_Tjy7440lYUwxzblOe1GclbcZi4dG3ev1GnnSgkVZSAucLLDZH99ezicKXvTgLobuk8d-Mzk_1Wr0wvZXTyCYUnWvKIEXIpA-Qt3AssWsayz_e6elpsgxPNa70/s320/P8040061.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237441837921938690" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha5NG7OZSq7ZoQaFcsFxiBwyswRUZCcv_oTVOK3aFm_7VGIWCSQn7cRJjCkt5fqiYOVdLIibiF_xE1Bkeazq9t_dbqbYhiY-pGEJ9uR69shI3FcE4yJNkWPxUOL8exbGrx8IDN3i75n0U/s1600-h/P6180032.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha5NG7OZSq7ZoQaFcsFxiBwyswRUZCcv_oTVOK3aFm_7VGIWCSQn7cRJjCkt5fqiYOVdLIibiF_xE1Bkeazq9t_dbqbYhiY-pGEJ9uR69shI3FcE4yJNkWPxUOL8exbGrx8IDN3i75n0U/s320/P6180032.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237441845247444354" border="0" /></a><br />I look forward to seeing the socks later on! <br /><br />cheers<br />UrsaUnknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590375414906126731.post-44154013666337324812008-08-19T18:32:00.002-04:002008-08-19T18:39:29.357-04:00Adding to the BlogI had a request (which I think is a great one btw) that after the yarn you dyed is posted you create a reply post of your own telling everyone what method you used to dye the yarn. If you took any pictures during the dyeing process we'd love to see those too.Celenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04101518817728566237noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590375414906126731.post-4742099461207100742008-08-19T16:08:00.005-04:002008-08-19T16:21:06.229-04:00I LOVE this yarn!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIs_kXCuCo7viDm-rjD3gNucYxWKe_z8kPXOZW08ZPOqXT7uiwFUfOcVRjnkDZHovc6_ioFsOlLDlNPlBBEl7yX1GqYHBDj9U-yIVGas9JjqIPBh8r8AlDcOB1n_jhNumTfsfQI5gQ1Ds/s1600-h/swapyarn4.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236325339043364914" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIs_kXCuCo7viDm-rjD3gNucYxWKe_z8kPXOZW08ZPOqXT7uiwFUfOcVRjnkDZHovc6_ioFsOlLDlNPlBBEl7yX1GqYHBDj9U-yIVGas9JjqIPBh8r8AlDcOB1n_jhNumTfsfQI5gQ1Ds/s320/swapyarn4.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnn0M-Qe6iyKIk3lPoYitMDo0z3Bc4fMJ2Df4a4tVG9Rm0ge_AmdFx0Sv4IHR1WiAWxmlCqLTa8wVZz77JyGPKdGUJLT4Ayblz2PxVAwbMUprFlCeA7n0OT2fRaqJO91kiPT3fvf7z4YE/s1600-h/swapyarn.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236325035895923266" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnn0M-Qe6iyKIk3lPoYitMDo0z3Bc4fMJ2Df4a4tVG9Rm0ge_AmdFx0Sv4IHR1WiAWxmlCqLTa8wVZz77JyGPKdGUJLT4Ayblz2PxVAwbMUprFlCeA7n0OT2fRaqJO91kiPT3fvf7z4YE/s320/swapyarn.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Okay I finally figured out how to do this after spending WAY too much time trying to understand how to post a blog before asking for help which Celena was nice enough to provide. I'm so happy with the yarn I received! I'm looking for the perfect sock pattern for it right now and have it narrowed down to 4. Meghan's inspiration was Niagra Falls which was a really unique thing to dye yarn to go with. There was more candy but my 3 year old ate it before I took the photo. She also included a pack of notecards which was really nice. I was really happy with this swap! Thanks Celena and Meghan!</div></div>Christina Marie Potterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18115701145425340438noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590375414906126731.post-13687779306187201062008-08-16T11:55:00.002-04:002008-08-16T12:18:00.377-04:00Perth to San Francisco in record time<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10248692@N03/2768366278/" title="swap yarn 2 by justkeepknitting, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3112/2768366278_0c1fb48c12.jpg" width="500" height="237" alt="swap yarn 2" /></a><br /><br />I received my swap package from Christabel on Friday. Wow--what a package! This yarn is amazing--it is honestly the best sock yarn base I have <span style="font-style:italic;">ever</span> seen. And Christabel--you did such a wonderful job dyeing the yarn. It practically glows--I really like the orange. And the sockdown challenge for September is to knit with orange yarn, so the timing is perfect. I'm planning to make Nancy Bush's First sock in Shell Pattern--I'm really looking forward to knitting with this yarn. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10248692@N03/2768365564/" title="swap package by justkeepknitting, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3036/2768365564_4513cae3a0.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="swap package" /></a><br /><br />The entire package is very generous--Christabel even included a hand-crocheted peach pin. Home canning peaches is a summer tradition in my family and peaches hold special memories for me. Thank you very much for everything Christabel--it is wonderful and I appreciate your thoughtfulness. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10248692@N03/2768356562/" title="swap yarn by justkeepknitting, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3108/2768356562_61ca1f5518.jpg" width="500" height="383" alt="swap yarn" /></a>s bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00382417781843534427noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590375414906126731.post-49308875059210506252008-08-14T11:48:00.002-04:002008-08-14T11:51:08.041-04:00Yay!My yarn arrived yesterday.

I did not do partners for this round. This means that the person you are sending yarn to (the questionnaire you received last night) is NOT the person sending yarn to you. If you did not get a forwarded questionnaire last night, please check your junk/spam mail folder. Let me know if you have any questions!<br /><br />Happy Swapping!<br />~CelenaCelenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04101518817728566237noreply@blogger.com3
