First post smirst shmost

So this blog has been sitting in my head for a few weeks now, and today I finally bit the bullet and started it. I am planning on using this blog to chronicle my adventures during Jeff's nap time and my quest to live and love a more simple life. We will see what comes of it :)

I have some projects I want to post from the last month, but right now I'll start with yesterdays. I am doing a swap with a mom on DSD, and she wanted some longies knit in a colorway similiar to this picture:

It was only my second attempt at dyeing variegated yarn, so I was pretty nervous, and I was trying a new method (that I kind of made up as I went along on accident...) but I am so happy with the final results! Here is the picture of my slightly tangled not-quite-skein-because-I'm -not-talented-enough-to-twist-a-real-skein:


Now I'm just excited to see how it knits up. I will add the details of my un-scientific dyeing method later :)
