Grandson, wool dying and knitting

Was glad to get this photo of Matthew, showing most of his teeth. He usually closes his mouth and pulls away when you try to look, so this is a rare one!

This is a Seamless Yoked Baby Sweater, using some of the leftovers from Matthew's baby afghan. Bernat Softee Baby in yellow. Very soft and light. Click on the name of the sweater to get the pattern.

Commercially spun yarn dyed at Joyce's yesterday. Used Country Classics I think in Spring Violet, Kiwi and a turquoise. Will have to check on the last one. The top two skeins are Naturespun, and the bottom skein is Paton's classic. The Naturespun exhausted every bit of the dye, and the Paton's only had a trace of green left. Used 1/4 teaspoon of dye to about half cup of water, and syringes to apply.

Handspun corriedale in Gaywal Candy Apple and Tomato.
These are some baby booties I have been working on. Acrylic yarns, and the pattern is here.
