I have a button!! I've been scouring the interweb trying to find a tutorial that I can understand and finally found this one at Between Naps on the Porch. If you are html impaired like me this is the perfect tutorial for ease of use and explanation as to what I'm actually doing. That being said, the button works for me, if for some reason it doesn't work for you please let me know and we can troubleshoot together. :)
This week I decided to pull out my recently thrifted crock pot and attempt some yarn dyeing. I was so excited with the results of my first attempt that I grabbed some roving that I'd stashed and kept going.

Keep an eye on my shop for new hand dyed handspun yarns later this week. And perhaps even some roving for you spinners and needle felters!
I also knit up a little cap for Baby Tuckey using some leftover yarn from my Blair cardigan (which I still need to re-bind off and find the right buttons for). Even though this hat is green it reminds me of a pumpkin, I think it's the knot on top, so I named it the Pumpkin Head hat. It's super stretchy and long so it should fit Jelly Bean for several weeks, perhaps even months!

If you haven't finished any projects this week that's ok, show me what you've been working on. But be on the look out for a giveaway in 2 weeks. All linked up finished projects completed during the month of January will be entered into the drawing. They can be 15 year old WiPs, just so long as you finished it in 2013!
