If you are buying pantyhose to hook with, the cheaper the better, and bigger is best. One of these things is not like the others....
I dyed up a storm of legs and panties last night. I had forgotten how quickly the nylons accepted the dye. I took ten of the light coloured pairs (a mix of white and cream), cut the legs off at the crotch and then cut each leg in half....so I had a total of 50 pieces. Here are the rest of the results....
I was surprised at how much lighter they looked once they were spun and dried....so the finished colours are a big lighter than I was planning, but I will use them anyway. They are actually a little darker and brighter than they appear in the pictures.
I have been wanting to start a new project for a few weeks now....but work and life created their usual obstacles. I managed to break through my funk yesterday, and all the pieces fit together to create my newest design and pattern: a summer purse hooked with nylons...
I am anxious to get started hooking tonight. The Academy Awards are on, so I don't think I'll be seeing too many of the fancy outfits--I'll be too busy pulling loops. I'll still be able to listen for the winners...
I am on the road all week for work, but I will be holed up in my hotel rooms with my hooking for company. I'll try to give you regular progress reports.
