Diane’s right, of course. There’s been far too much secret knitting going on here of late. And as it’s not just an odd pair of socks, it takes longer to complete, or even longer if I have a bloggable project on the go at the same time.
But I have done other things other than sit with my secret projects and ignoring my blog. A while ago now, Diane posted details of her oven dyeing technique and as it seemed fairly idiot proof, I had a go.
Not having proper dyes available to me, I used Sugarflair food colouring pastes, of which I have plenty. Mainly in garish colours, mind, but I selected Dark Brown and Ice Blue for a relatively harmless and, hopefully, manly combination.
I’m actually very happy with how it turned out. The proof will be in the knitting of course, but it was fun to do and I’m tempted to try with some “proper” dyes next time!
ooohh nice!!!! Love the colours.
that looks lovely
very nice indeedy! Beware it gets addictive 
Lovely colours! Brown and blue is my favourite combination.
Ooh, purty! I followed the oven dyeing tutorial yesterday, too.
It was SO much less messy than what I had been doing, I’m definitely doing it again. Diane’s tutorials are always so genius….
Seeing your nice colour combo makes me want to go try again….I have a bunch more undyed fiber waiting for colour!
Oh that is gorgeous! Well done you
