if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.

Ice cube dyeing

Not been here for a while but I just had to post this.
I found a "recipe" for dyeing wool using ice cubes and the microwave.

 ok to start you need wool, not acrylic (mine came from the charity shop)

 soak in water with a good splosh of white vinegar for at least 30 mins.
Squeeze out excess water and put wool in a microwaveable bowl

 Add previously frozen ice cubes coloured with food colouring, I had 3 of each colour and tucked 1 of each under some of the wool.
Then microwave on high power for - well I don't really know but it needs to get really hot for the dye to fix.
Leave to cool then rinse out any excess dye

I am really pleased with the result - what to knit with it though?
My son is after a giant hexipuff cushion, or a mad jumper for one of the girls?
