Knitting Adventuress

 I think it was a success to dye with elderberry and sulphur tufts.

The photo doesn't show the colors quit right, but pretty close. It's the three left hanks I'm talking about.

 

My book says, that pine cones makes brown - just what I wanted next.

 

Took a walk, filled my basket, and I almost destroyed my kitchen, when I broke the cones to pieces (I used knifes, a hammer, different pairs of scissors, a saw and said lots of angry words).

 

Then I cooked a pine cone soup, and my 14-year old told me, that he wouldn't eat home, if it was the dinner, that smelled so mysterious.

 

I dyed the yarn and what a disappointment. The right hank isn't brown in my opinion. Maby I did something wrong, but I'll never give it another try with pine cones - it's to much trouble.
