A big pile of handspun

River Run yarn dyed

The River Run yarn, now dyed and ready to be wound up and cast on. I posted the exact dye formulas on Ravelry, but I used jet black, silver gray, gunmetal and navy to get 8 shades (one black, three gray, three blue and one other blue). Now all I've got to do is finish up this:

Dev's purple sweater

February's sweater for Devil. Should be done tonight, if I don't spend too much time winding up handspun.

Thanks Sarah! I'm just hoping I don't end up having to go back and try to spin/dye more yarn...

Oh dear. Why tempt the fates and even put that in print???

Great dye job, btw.

Shhhhh...I think I'm already doomed in that it took me about 2 hours last night to wind up all that damn yarn, and 20 minutes to get halfway through the first row. Uh oh.
