but it's my next sweater.

This is the other sweater I've been meaning to get done. It looks kind of purple here but is really very blue. I was originally going to make myself an Eris sweater but after I made my sister's sweater, I decided that once through that pattern was enough. This is another one from Big Girl Knits called Lift and Seperate. It is my first time making myself a wrap sweater. I'll be interested to see how I like it.
In other news, I dyed the Sock Club March yarn yesterday and had a lot of fun doing it.

I've gotten more and more into painting my yarns lately.

I feel like it gives me a lot more control of where the dye goes and the yarn isn't so wet afterwards.

The inspiration was yellow tulips and blue sky.

I used two shades of yellow and two shades of green as well as the blue of the sky and the dark brown at the base of the tulip.

It was a lot of fun and I'm very pleased with the results. I'm looking forward to knitting some of it up!
