Peas in a Pod

I really like the way the double spiral looks on this bag, giving it a more rectangular shape. All hand dyed and crocheted, this little bag would be great for anytime you just need a way to carry your personal items in style.

To Dye For Bags!

I have this wonderful bag that started as a pillow I crocheted. I have gotten so many compliments on it i decided to try making a couple more and this was the first! I hand dyed all the wool for this bag, the purple comming from Alkanet root, the pinks from Cochineal and Madder, and the yellow from Osage shavings.

Oceananic Sunrise

Moving from oranges, through reds and into lovely contrasting combinations of pinks and blues, this scarf reminds me of brilliant sunrises over the ocean. This 2 ply yarn is a combination of my own hand dyed wool with predyed wool, knitted into a 6.5 x 37in scarf.

Delta Dawn

This scarf turned out a lovely dusty rose color, with some almost steel grey mixed in, all of which i hand dyed myself. The rose and tan colors were dyed with Madder, and the steel grey was a combination of dying over wool that had been colored with Indigo. This is a 2 ply yarn knitted into a 6.5 x 34in scarf.
