So, I got a little adventurous and decided that I was going to take some beads, thread and a beading needle to my local Knit and natter instead of some knitting (this is quite a regular occurrence, I usually take either some knitting, crochet, spinning or weaving, what ever takes my fancy for that day).
anyway, here's what I came up with.
Up next is a little dyeing experiment, I made a shawl for my sister last year (hand spun, hand knitted and then dyed) and she never found anything to wear it with so she gave it back and said I'd hate for it to spend its life hidden away... So me being me, I thought "I'm going to through some colour on it and see what happens" (I'd dyed it once already).
Before.
During dyeing.
And after, once dried and modeled by a lovely sculpture as part of Nottingham in Bloom (i think).
