My fingernails are purple!
I hate wearing gloves, I like to feel the wool woth my hand when I am dyeing it. I had fun though, I am getting close to running out of Treliske, might have to order some new stuff. The purple 2 tone is for a friends unborn soaker. 
The dusty blue actually is also truquoise, you just can't see it in the photo, thats for some newborn longies I think. The turquoise, purple and some other coloured yet to be dyed will be some stripey toddler longies and the orange will be matched with some yellow and bright red for a set of some sort. I ca'nt wait for this lot to dry so I can get stuck into it. Got started on the rest of my NZ wool, a girly jumper I think, maybe a vest, we will see.

Busy busy trying out new things.
No pics but I have been busy crocheting some new things that I have never made before. I am a part of Yarns United and so I can donate all proceeds minus postage to charity I am going to try to make all garments from left over wool from other projects. My first project is using some leftover wool from Woodford and also some green from a custom stripey set I made some months ago.
All these new pregnancies and births on forums at the moment has inspired me to make some newborn Jackabear Soakers. I have never made these for a newborn and I am making a two pack so am making them concurrently so they are identical in size (cos I never make things to the same size, my patterns are all adaptable in that way). I am making them plain and dyeing them after they are crocheted up.

Welcome to wotsupthawoollytree!
I have been meaning to start a blog for quite a while, now is the time it seems! I aim to chronicle my adventures crocheting garments for The Woolly Tree. At the moment I am putting the finishing touches on a soaker for the store, just the waist to go and the drawstrings to put in. I have decided to name it "Punk for a Little Spunk"
