The other day I finished knitting a pair of socks for my husband. I made them out of the yarn I dyed with acorns back in September. I think they turned out really nice. I love the little flecks of white. The acorns gave the yarn such a nice brown coffee with cream color which is perfect for my husband as he is a major coffee addict! I’m currently working on some more dyeing experiments that I will be sure to post about here in the near future.
It got cold this afternoon! We were out and about and the rain coming down started turning to snow. It didn’t stick but sure got my two boys excited! I can not believe we are already half way through November and Thanksgiving is just a few days away. I have got to get a lot busier here on making gifts! I keep making things for people (like the above mentioned socks for example) and then giving them to the person they were made for right away. Perhaps I should be saving them for gifts…..oh well, keeps me busy I suppose.

Those socks are gorgeous! I love the natural dying idea, I will definitely be back to your blog.
Thank you so much Victoria.

Gosh thanks… I was looking to dye with the acorns that my children collected for me today.
