We dyed ALOT of yarn! Sarah's backyard was the perfect location for our mini dye studio. She has buckets for soaking the fiber, every color dye you could ever want - and even set up a hot plate AND microwave!!
Just look at our setup!
Here's the loot at the end of the day - Naomi was the queen of the drying rack and set all of our yarn out just so:
We all dyed some great stuff - I'm very excited about the yarn I dyed for my Lady February sweater - it's the cranberry colored one hanging on the fence in the mosaic. I already swatched and got gauge and now I'm ready to cast on!! It will be my Ravelympics project :)
The next day we headed out for our second day at the beach. This time we stayed in Rhode Island and went to Salty Brine State beach. It was a gorgeous beach but very crowded with people as you can see!
Here we are enjoying the sun:
Later that night - Sarah and I went out for fried clams!!!! We went to Iggy's - which we heard was famous for their friend clams. We were definitley not dissappointed!
I got the "clam dinner" which came with clam strips, fries and clam showder. Yum! Unfortunately - I ate it before I remembered to take a picture. Oops!
After we ate - we walked around the beach in Oakland for a bit - it was so beautiful! It was around 7 pm so the beach was deserted - but it sure was pretty.
Since it was such a gorgeous spot - I had to take one of my favorite "at arm's length" pictures of us:
Believe it or not there is still more to come! Next time - I'll show you our tour of Newport!

Ooh... that's going to be a fab color for the February Lady! I can't wait to see it take shape. Mine is stalled with one sleeve left to go, and there it shall sit until post-Ravelympics. :)
I absolutely love the look on Naomi's face...she definately LOOKS like the queen of the drying rack.
Again, your photos are awesome. Thank you :D
great photos and again....looks like a great vacation! And with friends all the better! I need one - too bad school starts in less than a month.
What a production!
May I have permission to do a painting from your Warwick Beach photo? I didn't realize how much inland water there was in such a tiny state!
I'm looking forward to seeing your February Lady sweater :) You'll all been so busy having great fun. I had fried clams when we visited Sarah - they are so yummy!
great photos, jody! you dyed a lot of yarn, what are you planning to do with all of it?
ps - i LOVE self-portraits :)
I don't know how you manage to pack SO MUCH fun in to one day ;) I love the photos!
Clearly you and Sarah had a blast! I'm glad you could enjoy so much of Rhode Island on your visit! And thanks for the Ravelympics luck...I'll need it:)
Okay what is a clam cake? Clams are best when eaten by the shore. And fantastic photos.
Wow, you guys dyed a lot! Great color for your FLS too! Looks like you are having a great time! :)
I just realized that you dyed yarn to match nail polish!!!
I was in Rhode Island last week too. What a fun state. Loved all the fresh seafood everywhere.
that pic of Naomi is classic!!! :)
The beach looks heavenly.....
These work is amazing that work is very risky work and very time passing work it's very interesting. In that photos number of color's is present I like very much. This topic is also very interesting.
