And I have "F'd Up".

I don't know how you chicks get your yarn into those nice long neat thingies. :cry:
It'll probably take me a week to untangle this. :laugh:

That is going to be so pretty all knit up!
I wound mine around 2 barstools, then threaded scrap yarn thru, then around and tied in a bunch of places.
The color is gorgeous though!
I love it! It doesn't qualify for a bad name. :D
Like this.

What method did you use?
I kind of did it like your photo album thing that you posted. Except that I didn't pre-soak the yarn...because I'm rash and impatient. :laugh:
Did you rinse until it was clear? If so, you are good to go (once it is untangled ;) ).

And my yarn was f'd up like that BEFORE the dying. But I got tired of fooling with it and thought "Screw it, I'll worry about untangling it after it's dyed."
But then it got a whole LOT more tangled during the dyeing. :indiff:
Terri
08-07-2007, 12:01 AM
Yes, and yes (Jen and Lisa :laugh: )
:climbs on Terri's tangled head:
How much yarn is that? Fisherman's wool or something else?
Terri

It's Paton's...one ball/thingy
I already had it, so I thought I'd play around with it.
I bought Pattons the other day to dye. :D
4 balls. *squeal*
That is good. If that was a skein of fisherman's, I would be praying for you.
Patons is 3.3oz. Fishermans is 8oz.
I am still going to pray for you.
Untangling is a bitch.
When I wound mine tonight the first 80% went great and then I got a tangle. :nono: It seemed to take forever to finish winding the last 20%.
Just breathe and be patient.

There is hope. I just found one end of the yarn. :confetti: :laugh:
That's all I'm doing for tonight. :laugh:
You title need amending. It should read Jen had Fugly, Lisa has Forrible
Fugly is in the mail :dance: /tj

I finally unraveled it all. It's in a nice neat ball. That's the good news.
The bad news, is I must have tied it REALLY wrong...the color doesn't "alternate" all through the yarn.
So when I crochet it, instead of the different colors all throughout the pants, there's going to be ONE big chunk of red, ONE big chunk of yellow, ONE small chunk of pink (I guess I didn't have a lot of yarn in that section :dunno: ) and ending with another chunk of red. :rofl:
Did you make it into a big loop?

Well, I tried to. But then it kept getting all snarled and messed up. And the more I tried to fix it, the more tangled it got. Me and my short arms, trying to fix this big long thing. I think I got myself wound up in it at one point.
Finally I said "F*** it" And just tied the big ole' mess in 3 places. I just wanted to get on with the dyeing!!

you know, I was actually thinking of doing some yarn like this. I was going to do like 9 sections using 3 colors. but then I started thinking about hanking off each section in equal parts and lost interest.

I added a gay little flower to make up for my sucky dye job.

Those are really cute, Terri.
Terri ~ Those are awesome!!!!! I am serious. They don't suck at all. They are pretty.
I like your sucky dye job. :D
Terri

My new yarn. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
My red sucked up into the green and made it a murky green. It was supposed to be bright green.
But notice how neatly it's all tied, and everything!

I actually like that Terri. I bet it is going to look great when crocheted up!

The first turned out to be some very cute shorties(?)
I think the 2nd will look cute too
TERRI! These are fantastic!!! I love them!

I really like the new batch of yarn, too.
I love the new batch!
You are putting me to shame. Dyed, and crocheted up.
Mine is still sitting there, looking at me. So are my other 2 projects. :nono:
Terri

Thanks everyone. :)
Lisa, don't feel bad, my project is done, but I have neglected everything else this weekend...laundry, cleaning, cooking...
Conn and I are all out of clean clothes, and we had Cheddar Triscuits for dinner. :nono: :rofl: But hey, I finished the shorties.

Yes, they are diaper covers.

do they go under regular cloths or do you use something else when you want them munchkins to wear something different?
Terri

They act as both diaper cover AND clothing. :D
So yeah, if they're going to wear regular clothing, you don't use the wool...you use some other kind of cover.

i love them! I knew it would come out great!
I think the new one is great too. I like it when the colors run together. It looks bad on the hank, but looks great worked up!
:confetti:
Ready to dye again?

Yes, I want to. But first I have to crochet up my new yarn.
Then I'll dye more.
Or make more diapers. Haven't decided...
What? Only one project at a time? Uh heard of!

I made a hat for Aoife inbetween these projects, does that make it better? :laugh:
But I'm not sure if I like it. I'm thinking about unraveling it.
