Here are the felted mocs - prior to felting.
Finally - my dd's pinwheel blanket. This is from yarn that I dyed using rose petals from roses my dh gave me for my birthday just a few days after dd was born. I wasn't sure whether to knit longies or this blanket. I'm so glad that I chose the blanket! This is something she can put on a coffee or end table when she's older if she chooses.
and the roses that I used to dye the yarn with:
so off to start some new longies for dd as it has turned quite chilly here the last few days! It was 37 degrees this morning around 7 a.m. However, it's supposed to be 89 one day this next week!
dh is also still asking when I'm going to make him some socks!

What a lovely, lovely thing to do with the roses. It's beautiful.
so pretty and the longies are great! I have the non felted mocs pattern abd keep meaning to try it.
Wow, that is an heirloom blanket for sure! I love the story of that!!! The longies are beautiful also, I can't wait to see the mocs! :)
Those are all gorgeous pieces. I love the colours in the longies. And that is a beautiful way to use the roses. How did you use them to dye the wool?
Okay.. I couldn't resist. I had to buy the mocs pattern after seeing yours. They are just great!
You have done a wonderful job.

I tried to dye yarn with roses, but I couldn't get it to stick... Please tell me what mordant or method you used!
