dye dye dye!

well, things are moving along fast here in Gore, where I experience some of the busiest days that I have had since getting to New Zealand! We continue to work with fleeces, waiting patiently for them to dry- the weather here is wet and cold ( I may as well be at home!) and they are taking days instead of hours to dry- ooh well!
Yesterday I spend the day making knitting needles- sounds like a strange thing, but there's lots to it! After making the needles, we got to be creative and make fimo tops (ends) for them- after a day of hunching over a table and rolling fimo I was left with a very sore back, as well as some really great looking needles!
Today we spent the day natural dyeing as well as using more fun and colorful chemical dyes- those where for me! I am currently waiting to see how my wool has turned out- I can't wait to see it! I am also researching spinning wheels and trying to get my hands on one while I am still here with Biddy and can take advantage of all her knowledge! Well, it's almost dinner and I need to go check on my dyed wool- wish me luck.....!
