electric lime




gee, i guess i'm going thru some kind of color phase thang. i just can't get enough of this electric lime chartruese color- a resurgence of my favorite girlhood color. this is my lastest knitted piece i knit for etsy. baby sweaters are my mostest fav thing to knit-they are cute and quik to knit- i'm an impatient knitter- i need instant gratification. now check out the color of my chicken coop below:


my then 8 year old boy and i built this coop last summer. i love building! i just wish i'd taken wood shop in high school-but girls were not "encouraged" to take such a class when i went to school-in fact chemistry was poo pooed too- every time i asked a question the responce was- you don't need to know-you are a girl. arg!!!!!! i'd love to clean that guy's clock now! anyway-i'm getting off the point. this small 4x8 coop took me all fricken summer. it took a little too long-if i'd had finished it sooner the chicken massacre dog party would never have happened.

so now check out the color in my latest dye job. i hand painted the merino fiber and then spun it. oh yea! gotta love it-my favoite color-electric lime.

opps!oops! sorry for the blurr!! i have a kitten on my shoulder.

too fun Stef! Are chickens color blind? They just might be afraid of that big green thing :)

I love the electric green. It will make it easier for the foxes to find the chickens with the neon glow pointing the way.

Congratulations on the blog. I'll see if I can link it to the world!

Hi Steph! Christina here, Katie's soon to be wife if we can get the heck out of WV! ;) I know this is a post from February, but I coulden't resist commenting on the electric green! I love the lime colored baby sweater! I think it's so cool you build things. Great job on the chicken coop! Groovy color! :)

I LOVE your chicken coop! (I really love that color too!)

Do you have anymore pictures of your coop. I'm just getting into chicken keeping, in the city, and I am trying to design my coop. I might steal some ideas from you, if that's alright with you.
