Playing With String

This squishy pile of potential is going to get some colour today! Although I do love all the soft shades of white, cream, and light grey that the undyed base has. I've been saving the skeins of mohair to try out when I had the time to play with them and it looks like today's the day. I haven't decided on a colour for those but I know they'll be added to a sweater for that extra bit of squish. What are your plans for #sundayfunday today?... . . . . . #adventuresofayarnaddict #indiedyed #indiedyedyarn #indiedyerlife #indiedyersofcanada #canadianyarn #canadianhanddyedyarns #colourfulyarns #playingwithstring #playwithyourstring #georgianbaymakers #yarnstash #yarnieforlife #yarniegoodness #softandsquishy #colourfulyarnmakesmehappy See more

Does anyone else have a curious kitten like Molly? Since the holidays, we've been working on a few DIY projects around the house and no matter what we're doing, Molly wants to be right in the middle of it. Power tools don't frighten her (usually) and sand paper and paint are both extremely interesting. I even had to shut her up in our bedroom when she attempted to walk on a section of wet paint stripper. I thought the smell would have kept her away but boy was I wrong! We've ...had other cats before and none of them have been this curious or this brave. She's adorable but this brave little girl needs some help to stay safe . . . . . . #knittersofig #kittenlove #curiouskitten #bravelittlekitty #diyprojects #diyhomedecor #renovationwoes See more
