    Hi Sian, lovely to see what you've been working on. Your yarn wall is so fun and would be great inspiration for planning multi skein shawls I think. I have purchased the mini mock neck tank pattern but am yet to cast it on. My birthday is on November 1st so if your KAL has started by then, I might join you as a birthday cast on.

    • @theobsessivemaker

      Thanks, isnt it fun! I wish I could fill the whole Wall!
      Ooo yes😃 it'd be great to have you join us in the KAL. We just made the announcement on Insta, it starts on Nov 1st! It's always exciting to get to a new project and I hope your birthday cast on is a joy to knit!

    Oh yes busy fabric in tutorials makes everything soooo confusing. I’m a beginner sewer and I did the Flora Blouse following a video tutorial and mostly just used her verbal instructions cos the visual was practically useless it was such a chaotic fabric choice!

    • @theobsessivemaker
      @theobsessivemaker  2 месяца назад

      Haha yes, sometimes the visuals really get in the way! Glad you found the verbal instructions helpful though 😊

    Loved this episode and all your makes! Your colours are always wonderful, so vibrant…love them. I have been actually considering dyeing some yarn with Rit. Was it a positive experience? Your Tulip is looking really fabulous…I suppose the colour is holding well?! Let me know if you think I should give it a go! The mini mock neck tank is such a fun project and I have been wearing it a fair bit…maybe it’s worth knitting another one 🤔

      Thank you 🥰 oh yes you have to try it. I dyed on non superwash wool and had no problem. I chose the Rit dye that’s most suitable to wool & cotton/ natural fibres & followed the instructions, except I didn’t boil/ simmer the water with the wool in it, (coz I didn’t want to felt it). I just used really hot water in a tub and added the wool. I left it until it had reached room temp and then drained and rinsed a few times.
      I’ve had no issues with dye running, and the colour has held really well.
      Oh yes, please join us on the KAL!

      @@theobsessivemaker thanks for the tips! I will have to give it a go 😜

    • @theobsessivemaker
      @theobsessivemaker  2 месяца назад

      Awesome 🙌🏻 would love to hear how it works out! Oh, one thing I just remembered. I also tried dying some undyed silk Mohair but it was hugely unsuccessful. I don’t know what I did but it all just ended up as a felted mess and I had to throw it away.
