Wet and dry dyed roving!

As I said in my previous post, wet roving looks pitiful. The first time I saw it, I thought I've ruined it. Here are my latest and final two, hung out to dry.

On the right you can see the green and blue roving, with the truest color I could get. My camera didn't see what I saw, but this came close.

I love the green one. It's soft colors, nothing like the picture on the left. I'm looking forward to spin it.

Both colors combined are 8oz of Corriedale roving.

The blue is lovely too. The phrase "first come first serve" came to mind. I pushed the white roving into the pot, but not quite all the way. I wanted to see how the rest would be soaked slowly into the colored water. At first you could see the progress, but after a while nothing happened, so I pushed the rest under, but by that time, the water was almost clear. That's why the color is so uneven, but that's O.K. I could have added some more color, but I like experimenting.

I stopped dyeing, even though the weather is just perfect for it. Dry in a jiffy. I didn't get to spin this weekend at all. And I've got so many colorful roving to work with, I'm burning to sit down and spin. But, I've got some BFL in natural color in the works, and until this is done, I can't start something else.

Anyway, the KH Cardigan got my full attention and I've knit all five pieces! Yeah! Now for the finishing act! I've got to get some buttons as well. I can't wait to put this cardigan behind me.

We had a nest of wild bunnies in one of our flower beds. This morning, I found a drowned baby bunny in our pool. I still feel so bad about this. I think there were only two bunnies in the nest, at least I only saw two. I hope the other one will be alright.
