FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!



This is my FSM that I created a couple of days ago whilst bored. =) I love him. He is my god. I will worship him...maybe. He doesn't like that though, so maybe I won't.
He's a bit effeminate because the only yarn that I had to spare was a pastel pink-blue color. Heehee.






And my latest roving!!!!! =D Isn't it perdy? I'm currently in the process of spinning it up. It will be interesting to see how it knits up. =)

So YOU Want To Dye Roving? Part 2

Oh goodness, a bit of a delay. I've been lazy about uploading the pictures from my camera. The last part of the dyeing process is fairly simple anyway.

SO! The last few steps are as follows:

Step 1:
Unwrap your baby roving from it's towels and newspaper.

Step 2:
Fil your sink up with soapy water once again like you did when you went to soak your roving initially, same soap and same temperature is all fine.

Step 3:
Unwrap your roving. If you dye like me, it could be a tad messy. The roving should easily fall from the Saran Wrap. Dunk your roving into the sink and toss away the Saran Wrap.

Step 4:
Let soak for just a couple of minutes

Step 5:
Rinse out each individual strand of roving and hang it up to dry on a coathanger (or something similar is fine too) in the shower, or just someplace where it can drip dry and be left undisturbed.

Step 6:
After it's all dry, you're ready to spin! Congrats! =)



Note: For some reason Blogger isn't letting me upload images, so I'll upload the images of my finished roving once Blogger decides it likes me again.
