What I've Been Up To
Not a lot of knitting progress posted, but I've been doing stuff! I've sent off some socks I sample-knitted and finished knitting a bag I designed. I've also been reading a lot about photography and yarn dyeing. Hopefully I will do some dyeing this week and post some useful pics and info. I spent last week running around Austin with my little brother (this pic was from Mt. Bonnell). I've been wasting time on Ravelry and LibraryThing. And I've been trying to get myself mentally prepared for moving to the bay area in a month. I'm going to miss my Austin knitter friends, but the whole reason I met them is cause they're web savvy, so I bet we'll be staying in touch (esp. since quite a few of us are on Ravelry or soon-to-be on Ravelry).

I've been thinking a lot about yarn dying as well. Do you know of any good websites or books? I'm having trouble finding stuff that goes beyong the bare basics.
Have you seen the new KAL/swap for hand dyed yarn - it looks really good...

I'll add links to books I've used later.
Btw, thanks for the felting links. I know they will come in handy when I pluck up the courage to give it a go.:)

Oh, and those photos are gorgeous. You're such a nice tour guide, taking your brother to Mt. Bonnell!
