Got the fiber fever, got to dye it now. Got the fiber fever, you know it's going around.
So I know I have been a terrible blogger lately and in all honesty I just keep thinking of great blog ideas and then just sit here staring at the screen. I have blogger block (is there such a thing?) I also have a knitting block which is frustrating because I have all this wonderful knit picks yarn and I have no idea what I want to do with it. In the mean time though I got a glorious package from the Sheep Shed Studio filled to the brim with gorgeous roving! Not going to lie after I took a picture of it I may or may not have hugged it and squeed.

Two pounds of Punta roving and 2 ounces of mystery black roving sent as a thanks! |
I divided it up into four ounce-ish balls of fluffy joy. Then I proceeded to go a little dye crazy with some Wilton's dye gel.

So the deal with the green one is this, I dyed it with yellow and blue
dye, and some how purple appeared! I just don't understand!

It was a blast to dye all of this fiber and I still have two more braids to go. There was a total learning curve between day one and day two. The first day I made a hot mess and ended up with two braids that kind of look the same and then the random Spring fever one. And the second day I kind of had an idea what to do. Dying with Wiltons is so much different than dying with kool-aid I felt like. I hope all of you are enjoying spring and haven't (or maybe that you have) caught the fiber fever!
