I came home from work last night to find a 2lb cone of DK natural cotton. Woohoo! It’s a nice quality. I worked on a gauge swatches using my G6 & H8 hooks. And of course I think I need a size 7 hook, which I’m pretty sure I have but can’t find.

I am planning on making a yarn meter a la Hello Yarn, but all important measuring part hasn’t arrived yet. Once I get it and build the yarn meter, I’m going to skein this up. Then I’ll get dyeing…although I still need to actually buy the dyes.

And once my sister gets done with work we are going out to lunch and then to the Renegade Craft fair in Brooklyn.

I intended to just pick up brown dye, but instead I came home with 10 jars of Jaquard Acid Dye from Pearl Craft. It was $3.59, rather than the $4.49 list price, so how could I resist. When I live somewhere with a real workspace I think I will get into real formula dyeing, but for now I just don’t have the room. I need to clean so I have a place to do some dyeing tomorrow.
