My new favorite color combination.
Right now my new favorite color combination is red/grey/black. Especially in these puffs. The grey in the middle is just kettle dyed left over from my gloves that I made. The 2 red/black at the top are from colorbombcreations and the two red/grey are from WanderingWool Mini Skein Club.
Happy Crafting!

Hand Dyed Puffs
When I first starting knitting puffs, I wanted to dye some of my own. It was fun, and I have been knitting some of my hand dyes up.

The Art of Binding Off
This sparkly purple puff reminded me that I have yet to photograph me binding off. I am using the 3 needles bind off which is really simple it just has a lot of steps. Sometimes ones I even forget to do…lol…good thing knitting can be undone!

My Recipe for a Perfect Puff
Everyone knits these little wonders differently, and so I thought that I would share what I do to make my perfect puff…
I cast on using Judy’s magic cast on, and then turn my needles, so that the "purl" ridge is still on the bottom of the puff, I like the ridge a lot.
I then knit 2 rows plain before I start the pattern doing my increasing and decreasing as directed in the pattern.
When it comes to the last decrease, I do not knit the final row, I just decrease and then cast off on the next row. On the cast off, the last 2 set of sts i cast off through the back of the loops to tighten them up, otherwise I find myself with loops at the end of my cast off.
I sew in my ends immediately, so that I don’t have the daunting task of sewing in thousands of ends either before I join them up, or when the blanket is complete!
Happy Crafting!
