What I have been up to... (crafty bits)

Hello fiendlets,

What are you all up to on this fine Sunday evening?
 
I am on cat feeding duty for a friend this week so will be popping over there shortly armed with curry and Angel DVDs...  oh yes, dear friends, I do live the high life.    But who am I to argue with people who have cute cats, really big TVs and huge squashy sofas?
  
Over the last couple of weeks I've been posting a few bits to my craft blog so I thought I would pop in here and give you the edited highlights...    (well, mainly just a few pics, if you're interested.)
       
First of all, I have just finished making this little confection...   (due to become a christmas present, and don't worry - I am already slapping myself for bringing up the C word!)   It's made from the softest, most divine yarn known to man, and that is no lie...

I've also beeing having a bit of fun experimenting with yarn dying...   using, of all things, a radioactive American soft drink powder called "Kool Aid".   I can only assume that some knutter discovered this by accident, but it seems to work very well and the colour is permanent and wash-proof.  
    
( Lets just the say the resulting hues are (ahem)  )

Anyway here's the really new thing...   it is Sunday evening and I don't have a feeling of all encompassing dread at going back to work tomorrow.  Yayness!  I have gained a little distance from The Mong Collective and things are already on the up...
