Wendy & Sheila with the usual project and yarn chat. Featured discussion about dyeing yarn with both acid dyes and non-toxic colors.
**Sorry for the delay on getting the video up! I was plagued with problems, including, but not limited to my husband accidentally unplugging the laptop during the QuickTime export at some point last evening and then it posted on the blog in a weird way that took a while to sort out. I think everything is okay now!
Show Notes:
Shout out to the people who commented. Thank you again for all the LOOOVE.

Crushes and Heartbreaks:

Gossip and Innuendo:
Dyeing - Sheila Dyed a lot this week, or a couple of things. Her Claudia was dyed in coffee after the hat was knit and she dyed Harold the House Plant Monster with Kool-Aid non-sugared packets only, while she was at work.

Hi Wendy and Sheila!
Thanks for the shout out. :)
A coffee lover like me loves that you dyed your hat with coffee and it came out fantastic!
Great episode. I really enjoyed it.
The owl is so cute!! And just so you know, my favorite thing to crochet is oversized granny square blankets. Love them!
Thanks for the blog mention! And I had to laugh when I saw the title of your episode, because I just ordered custom buttons to send out with orders from my shop that say "Everyday is a good day to DYE!" LOL
Enjoyed your videocast!! Love that, Sock Monkey yarn!! Do you know where this is available?
Penelope: It's called "Perhaps Today is a Good Day to Dye" yarn, sock monkey colorway and is from Hanks Yarn & Fiber at www.hanksyarn.com
