FO: Hand Dyed sock, ruffled scarf, & a purse

[Danielle]

Here's my latest FO's. The sock was made from the yarn that I dyed with koolaid. :happydance: I love the way the colors knitted up! I've started on the second sock, but only have about 2" done so far.

I got the pattern for the scarf off of Lion Brand's website. It was made with homespun yarn. It comes in such pretty colors, but is a pain in the butt to knit with. :(

The purse is out of 'Hollywood Knits Style' by Suss Cousins. I :heart: that book! :thumbsup: The yarn is called Landscapes. I think LB makes it. :?? I'm thinking of adding a knitted flower to the bottom corner of the purse, but haven't decided on what color to do it in. :thinking:


That's all for now! :D

Great job - everything looks so nice!

I know the patterns are copywrited, but could you tell me the yarn that is recommended, needle size and gauge info?

I want to go ahead and buy my yarn (or get from my stash if I have it) before the book from the library gets here.

Thanks.

[Danielle]

Thanks! :blush:

Pensguys,
The recommended yarn is Brown Sheep Company's Burly Spun in color # 110 (orange, one skein). Size 15 needles. Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4" in stockinette stitch. :thumbsup:

[Pensguys]

Thanks!! I have the PERFECT yarn in my stash http://handpaintedyarn.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_55&products_id=124 (Curacao) for this! Whoo Hooo!!! AND I have size 15 needles!

Can't wait for that book to come from the library!!

Very nice things!

[Pensguys]

I forgot to ask...did you line your purse?

[Danielle]

Yes, I did line it. Just some cheapo material that I found at wal-mart....I measured the bag and then cut my material and sewed it up on the machine and then stitched it into the purse by hand. :thumbsup: (I am a horrible seamstress, but it looks alright I guess. :rollseyes: )

BTW, that is a gorgeous yarn that you are going to use for yours!! Be sure to post pics of the FO!

[Ingrid]

Wow! Your sock looks great! I'd never guess that the yarn was hand dyed! Love the purse, and even though I'm not a fan of Homespun, your scarf has a great look!

[Mer]

Beautiful! And that hand-dyed yarn worked up great--I love the colors!

[VictoiseC]

Very pretty socks, so soft those colors! That bag was made on Size 15?
Doesn't look like it but it's hard to tell I guess. It's a very neat bag, I love it. Yeah, I've been intimidated to line a bag but I have abeautiful new sewing machine so I really need to take the leap. I'm so initimidated about positioning the lining inside the bag etc etc etc!

I have to try it though! Great work!

Love it all :heart: I love dyeing with koolaid! I've only done it once, but it was FUN!! LOL, then I used up most of my dyeable yarn...but I have some sock yarn left....so i'm gonna do some more koolaid dyeing. I LOVE :heart: your colors!!
