Knitting and Dyeing and kids, oh my!

So I spent last night dyeing up some yarn for my own little guy, and some custom yarn for a surprise me custom for a friend! They both turned out awesome, and now I just have to wait for them to dry so I can get to knitting! Of course, with 3 young kids in the house, I can't just dye up my yarn at any time, so I was up until about 1 am getting everything dyed, cooled and washed and now it's hanging to dry in my bathroom and the yarn is seriously calling my name!!! I love it! The colors came out just as I had pictured them, with a few slight but beautiful surprises thrown in for good measure, and I just can't wait to knit them up!

Next week I have to get started on my items for the new Hyena Cart Congo that I am going to be a part of, Sweet November, opening November 1st. The plan is to have at the very least my new "sock monkey" colorway done (!) and sock monkey shirts done to order with it, along with at least a few knit items.... I would love to also have a boyish and a girly colorway and shirts to match, but we will see :) I will definitely be cutting it close this month.... Tons of customs to get done, and lots to do to get ready for the grand opening! I will post pictures o fmy finished surprise me customs as soon as they're done!
