Divinely Crafty

Handpainted Blue Faced Leiscester aran I dyed up this week. Gorgeous rich blue shading with splashes of greens. Not knowing what to call this beatiful colorway I sat on the loo and contemplated the hank hanging to dry on a hook across the room. When I happened to turn my head and see the print of the a Geogia O’Keefe painting of Machu Picchu in the morning mist we have on the wall – in the exact color scheme. So in its honor I am calling this one Machu Picchu Morning.

So in keeping with the South American theme I am calling this one (also BFL aran) Carnival.

Both are soon to be made into what else?…..baby hats!

Its not my first soaker, but it is the first I have made in years. The last one was when my Anja was a wee babe. She’s in Year 1 at school now. :::sheds tear:::

Pure wool DK Weight dyed by me. Not sure how it looks on your screen, but on mine it seems a bit brighter than in reality. It is a very subtle variagation of pinks,oranges,yellow and white. Very sweet. It makes me think of a sweet little flower petal. Perfect to make a soaker for a new little blossom baby.
