Seriously, though, what's up with tv shows and commercials broadcasting for people to watch with 3D glasses? There was a random stretch of commercials during the Super Bowl that required 3D glasses and I felt so left out. And kind of confused. But whatever. That teleflora commercial was definitely the best. Well, either that one or the Conan O'Brian commercials. Both of his were excellent.
On to knitting. I used up the hand dyed yellow yarn (hand dyed by me, no less) to make this little number:
Now that I've embroidered a few times I'm getting a lot better at it. The curves of the twiggy things aren't quite right, but are close. I think it's cute. The shape of the hat isn't quite right for me, but it is pretty cute.
I dyed the yarn with a recipe from Nature's Colors by Ida Grae, which was the standard natural dyeing book back in the 70s. (Thanks to my Plurkbud tigereye for sharing the recipe!) I found out that the Fine Arts Library has a copy of it, along with some other plant dye books and textile dyeing books. So sometime this week I'm heading over there to check a few out. I have about 965 yds of undyed yarn that is just begging to be messed around with!
