What a wonderful blanket...I think it's definitely worth every $ & so much much more!

I just posted on my own blog about this (and a couple other methods)--this is great, and I can't wait to try your other striping method--maybe next week. :)

Ha, I swear you look like Samantha Stevens in Bewitched trying to be all incognito in that stripy remix mask/hoodie. No one would know she was twitchin her nose with that on : ) WAY COOL

I'm so sorry Freak Out! is taking so long... a combination of traveling, personal issues, and sickness, blech... anyway, it should be next week as long as I don't get sicker! It takes about as much yarn as 2 basic hats, in whatever weight you want to use. In most yarns, that'll be 2 or 3 skeins. If you know what weight you want to use, I can give you a yardage estimate...

This is so cool. I want to try something like it with natural dyes...

Just made mine with a super large shirt (3x) and it turned out like a messenger bag! I loved this tutorial. :)

How would the sweater, scarf, etc. be laundered? Doesn't the color get washed away?

hey lee(thal),

happy 2012 to you, too!
i would like to ask, how "freak out" is going on. what i mostly want to know is: how much yarn will i need to knit it? i'm so exited to make one! i love the fact you can wear it as a normal hat and then pull it down to really freak out (^_____^) that's so cool!

bye then, marraceli

Westagram lets you follow Instagram online. Not an Instagram site, but helpful. Happy 2012!

Re: Making milk liqueurs!

Greven — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:11:22 -0000

I have been making my own liqueurs for a few years now. As a part of the SCA it's one of those things many are familiar with. I went looking for a shelf stable version of Irish Cream and could never find one. Then my wife gave me an idea and it has gone over very well.

24 good caramels without wrapper
1 bottle of bushmills Irish whiskey
1 large mason jar

place all of the caramels in the jar and fill with Irish. Shake at least once a day till all the candy is dissolved.
I usually serve it unfiltered (with a shake to mix) as it looks like the standard irish cream, but I have filtered it as well and the amber results still maintains the flavor.

Awesome, yes, I still have them and would love to hand them over to you! Perhaps we can arrange a meeting spot somewhere in SE next week? Email me at leemeredith at gmail.com and we'll figure something out :)

It's not really practical to ship so many, but like Mjneal said, hopefully you can find someone with an abundance in your neck of the woods. good luck!

I made this for my daughter out of one of her toddler tees... she then asked me to make a skirt for her Barbie from one of the sleeves. I did, using the same drawstring method with the hem of the sleeve! Worked awesome!

I just stumbled across your amazing tutorial and have to tell you that I was given the same crock pot as an engagement gift in 1979! I still use it for cooking but would be keen to try the wool dyeing one day. Thanks!

Very nice! I am trying to sell & donate my old clothes as much as possible, but for a few more raggedy items, I will be making them into bags... after I patch up the holes. Lol.
