I've been knitting beads. (Again.) Since I finally learned how to get close up shots on my camera (yes, this was an obvious thing, but it took me way too long to figure it out), I have better pictures.
Here's what they look like after I've knit them...
Then I run them through the washing machine to felt them...
And then I dye them...
Aren't those colors pretty?
I mention this all for a reason. I have no idea what color to try next.
I used food dyes for them. (These.) I've exhausted the box. But, there are recipes for other colors. It's time to experiment, but I don't know which color to try next.
I can actually do four batches at the same time, so it's not like I really need to narrow things down too much. I guess it's just the plethora of choices that's making choosing so hard. That, and I have another box of food dyes to play with as well.
Any ideas? I'm open to suggestions.
My personal blog about the random things that are in my life: writing, knitting, and substitute teaching.

I'm a big fan of purples, personally. Royal purple and indigo purple. How about periwinkle?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! Purples and periwinkle are cool. I agree. What a cute idea. I don't know why some people can think of such great ideas like this.
