Denim and denim

This is what
the denim that i'm wearing looks like.



And this is cotton "denim" that i've had
for a while,
waiting to me swatched & made into something.
I started to swatch it last night.
Wannietta wrote a while ago (July 3, 2006)
for her love of this yarn.
I'm glad she did, because knitting with
cotton isn't my favourite thing. And wow, does
this indigo Ever dye your hands.
She swears it's worth it.

I have some incredibly cheap denim yarn from Texere which I plan to knit, bleach and then unknit...and knit again.

Now I write it out like that, it sounds crazy, and yet when I had the idea, it all sounded so creative!!! (Thanks Mason-Dixon knitting, for the idea...)

Nadine, I never thought about getting blue hands!!

The dye will probably come off on your needles (although bluey Aeros are kinda cool) and don't wear light-coloured clothes while knitting the blue Denim.

You are definitely due for some new denim garb Nadine!
