Ik verfde nog meer strengen wol. Dit keer wel petrol met een aantal tinten teal 🙂 En geel, lekker zonnig! Zo ziet het wasrekje er dan uit als ik geverfd heb, heerlijk uitzicht! Deze streng voelde zo fijn dat ik hem gelijk wilde gebruiken. Het is een Alpaca wol met zijde en is zo zacht! Het werd een hoesje voor mijn nieuwe tablet. Nu kan deze eindelijk mee in de tas zonder dat ik bang ben voor krassen. Hier ligt hij nog te blocken, maar inmiddels is ie al even in gebruik 🙂 Ik breide voor het eerst een kabel en dat viel me reuze mee! Ook naar de gele wol was ik erg nieuwsgierig, hoe dat zelfgeverfde er nou uitziet als je het breit. Nou zo dus! Nieuw paar sokken in wording, lekker simpel patroontje wat ik in de auto naar Antwerpen kon breien. Over Antwerpen binnenkort meer! Het kwam vooral neer op veel lopen, lekker eten en drinken en een beetje breien. Lekker een weekendje eruit en relaxen!

Hoi ik ben Carolien en ik ben creatief verslaafd… Zoals ik al vertelde heb ik voor dit jaar twee wol-doelen, leren spinnen en leren verven. Dat laatste deed ik vorige week voor het eerst en wat was dat leuk! Ik kliederde met verf, in de magnetron en op het gasfornuis en daar kwamen best wel erg leuke strengen wol uit. Niet altijd precies wat ik bedoelde maar wel heel erg mooi! Hier de eerste paar resultaten, regenboog, hoe kan het ook anders! Toen een roze/paarse, omdat ik dat niet in mijn stash heb en wel een paar sokken aan een vriendin beloofd heb in die kleur 😉 En toen een poging tot petrol, zoals je ziet faliekant mislukt, maar mijn lief vindt de kleur helemaal geweldig en wil zich graag opofferen om sokken in deze kleur te dragen 😀 Ook zie je al gelijk mijn geupdate naam, ik heb mijn “werknaam” omgedraaid voor mijn andere creatieve activiteiten, Colourful Creativity by Kralalien. Kralen zal nog steeds onder Kralalien gaan, maar omdat ik meer wil en andere creatieve dingen dan beter passen, ben ik nu ook Colourful Creativity gaan gebruiken 🙂
