Gollum/Smeagol Conversation

Gollum: Icarus kit and yarn still has not showed and we is feeling a bit grumpy about that precious
Smeagol: We's got the Victorian Lace Today haven't we? Let's take a look at using it instead of only drooling

Gollum: No yarn fine enough or good enough. Shame really - that spiders web shawl on page 44 looks so beautiful, we reckon we could have had a hacks at that
Smeagol: We is a spinner ain't we precious, we spins tons of stuff, we's got loads of yarn - why not use up the shetland lace weight that we has been sweating blood over for the last few spinning evenings?


Gollum: We don't really wants an ecru shawl, do we precious?
Smeagol: So we dyes the stuff! Don't get hung up on what if it goes wrong and felts into a claggy lump. So what?!

No more reasonable objections really.
So here it is from natural to pink using acid dyes that I got for silk but thought I might as well give it a whirl as I really don't want to lay out any more cash right now. It's hanging up bleeding dye all over the weeds in my garden right now
