A sad tale of Christmas tree loss, in pictures:
The holidays have come and gone and now I’m back to work. blah. 
The beginning of this year finds me knitting with and dyeing darker colours. I’m not sure if that is a reflection on anything or just the way it is working out.
The shrug I started in last weeks post has been finished. I was monogamous with it since I really wanted to wear it!
Excuse the too large t-shirt.
Pattern: Top Down shoulder warmer by Laura Chau
Yarn: Dream in color Classy in colourway ‘Black Parade’. The project took less than 2 skeins
Needles: 4.5 mm and 5.0 mm (from my new Hiya Hiya interchangable set! ♥)
It doesn’t look like anything awesome without a body in it though…
The dye pots were pulled out one last time:
1) Cask DK (231yds / 100gr) – aurora borealis
Same pot, one came out more blue the other more green. Go figure.
2) Merino/Nylon 2ply sock (430/100gr) – cobble
*squee* the first time ever I’ve tried to recreate a colourway. It’s not a perfect match but a good one, and still very pretty. 
Next week will be the big ‘official’ new year’s post. I’m looking forward to it.
