Yarn Along

     We recently ended our school (we're home-schooled), and I have a lot more free time to read and work on knitting.

     I've read most of the books in the house, so naturally I look for books at the library. The last time I went, I discovered a new series. I finished the first one, but the one I'm currently reading is House of Secrets: Battle of the Beasts. I found it in the kids section, because most books found in the young adult fiction are just plain trash. Not always, but this time i found this and am really enjoying it. I love finding books nobody has heard of before, rather than reading books everyone and there mother read. 

   Needle work hasn't been on my agenda recently, but I'm making myself finish all the projects I have in the works. I am knitting a shawl that I haven't worked on in awhile. So long, that I messed up on the pattern. Thankfully I have a brain, and made a few changes to what I am going to do. Not a big deal, I think it'll turn out just fine.

Tie Dye

     Sorry I have been gone for so long. I kept making excuses for not posting. 

                           

     Today, we decided to finally create our tie dye shirts that were supposed to be done a year ago. My mom had gotten a kit from Hobby Lobby, so it was really easy to do. 

     We were originally going to do it outside, but it's been raining cats and dogs. My mom remembered that there was a tin baking pan in the laundry room, so we wrapped up our shirts in the rubber bands and tie dyed that way. It worked really well, and I think there was less mess than if we had done it on the grass.

     I love the way mine turned out. I can show you the shirt on me in a later post.
