1. i made these gloves last may because a woman at the brooklyn children's museum development office (where i was interning) doesn't like alpaca and doesn't like bubblegum pink. so, she gave me her two skeins of knitpicks baby alpaca which i dyed cobolt blue with bits of pale purple peeking out (the yarn was heathered to start with, which helped, but i also let the dye absorb quickly, so that's why it's uneven). i was actually intending to dye it purple (since i have too many blue clothes already), but i like the effect i ended up with. anyway, i'm happy it's cold enough for me to wear them now! the pattern is based on http://www.wiseneedle.com/patternpage.asp?pattern=knitpatlily
2. i'm almost done with my red sweater! it my first sweater (though i made a tank top over the summer). i just have to finish the second sleeve and make the yoke.
3. if you hadn't noticed from my first posts, i love entrelac. i'm going to made some green entrelac socks. the little skein is some yarn that i wanted to use, but is way too thick to use with sz 0 needles. i dyed it to be brighter and it's sitting on a sock which is it's original color.
4. here is some merino/silk fiber i ordered on ebay. its soo soft and shiny and easy to spin (and less white than the picture shows).
