Plant dying!

Teinture aux plantes!


Henrietta had a blast learning plant dying in the fjords East of Iceland
Henrietta a adoré apprendre la teinture naturelle dans les fjords de l'Est en Islande!

Möttull




Hégómlega vinkona Prjóna-Heklu vildi nýja flík fyrir Páska. Helst hefði hún viljað möttul úr dýrindis flaueli með hermilín kanti, en varð að láta sér nægja möttul úr lopa og lambskinni.

Ég notaði uppskriftina að pilsinu en lengdi það ögn, prjónaði þrjár lykkjur brugðnar í miðju og klippti svo í. Lambskinnið límdi ég svo á með límbyssu. 

Prjóna-Hekla´s conceited friend wanted a new garment before Easter Sunday. She would have loved a suede cloak trimmed with heraldic ermine fur, but had to make do with a knitted cloak trimmed with lambskin.

I used the pattern for the skirt, adding a few inches, and purled three stitches so that I could cut it open.  I used a hot-glue gun to attach the lambskin.

Gleðilega Páska! Happy Easter!
