Well, some of it. I dyed a bunch of yarn and fiber for my mom too, which she took home with her, and I didn’t get pictures of. It seemed like so much yarn until I put it in a box… now, not so much 
However, I broke ANOTHER peg on my skeiner though (after improvising a solution for the first broken peg), so this is missing a few skeins, but I just can’t take much more of winding into balls first and then reskeining on my swift, so I’ve stopped for now.
I have a few other colorways I want to dye up, but as I’m unable at the moment to skein up any yarn at the moment, that is on hold, and a lot of fiber that needs to be soaked… but I may just wait on that until next weekend.
I think I’m going to attempt to make a PVC skeiner…. we’ll see how that works out

I finished these a bit over a week ago for a friend of mine online. I love how they came out..
I also finished my sister’s socks (and iPhone sock) but as they are currently on their way to her, and she won’t get them for a few days yet, I’m only posting a B&W picture of them.. because I can’t spoil the surprise for her 
I dyed up some playsilks for my kids… which was fun, and I’m super thrilled with how they came out.
I also dyed a TON of yarn over the weekend, but no pics of that quite yet.. I want to be able to get them all photographed together, but I broke one of the pegs on my skeiner, so until I either figure something else out or get a replacement for it, that is put on hold for a while.
I also lots of yarn in the mail this past week… some really awesome stuff from my friend Lamar at …a time to dye – I got some of the much coveted new colorway “Andrew” (with trim!) on Rambouillet in exchange for knitting said Andrew a pair of shorties, and a really fun colorway called “Kindness” on beaverslide.
Then from Leidy at Western Sky Knits, a colorway called “Happy” on Cestari Fine Merino. I think it will make an absolutely gorgeous pair of shorties for Odin.
And because it looked like a lot of fun, I got some of the new Noro Kureyon Sock yarn..
Not sure when I’ll get around to making anything with either of those, but they’re a welcome addition to the stash, regardless
