Rather than wait to announce the grand prize winner on the podcast, I thought it would be a good idea to pull the winner early so she can have her prize to play with over the holidays. Congratulations to TeenieK! Thank you to everyone who participated in the KAL!

URL Changes

Hello!

I am in the process of updating my website and a few things will be changing in this blog as a result. This blog, dyeabolicalyarns.blogspot.com will no longer be updated once the new website is active in about a week or so, but before that point you may notice a bit of wonkiness in the URL both here and if you are visiting from www.knitdyeread.com.


I will update you when all of the new blog address and podcast URL are working.

-Rachel

Episode 10

Hi everyone! This episode is a little bit longer than usual. I did a lot of editing and cutting. It was originally over an hour but I've managed to cut it down to about 35 minutes. There are some sound issues when my a/c kicks on in the middle of recording, but it should pass in a few minutes.

And about the "Dyepots" section ... I have so much more to say about setting dyes, what causes bleeding, when it's expected or even acceptable, how to avoid it, etc. I cut out a lot for the sake of time. If you have any questions at all about washing yarns, re-setting dyes, bleeding yarns, dye chemistry, or any other topic please do not hesistate to ask here or in the Ravelry group.
