Color Teaser

So, what did I do last night?

Mixed colors

Dyed yarn

Washed up

Watched TV

I mixed up a very deep blue and a deep red so that I could make a "patriotic" colorway (by request), then mixed up some other fun colors to play around a little more. Below are the preliminary results (meaning I snapped only a few quick pictures this morning because I was running late for work!).

Love those blues!

Patriots

There was a request for red, white, and blue sock yarn. Thus, my Patriots. They're red on one end, white in the middle, and blue on the other end. The red faded to a kind of dark orange as it ran a bit, but I like it.

Autumn colors

Wisteria Lane and RiverWash Skeins

Left are the Wisteria Lane skeins and right are the RiverWash skeins. Both are superwash wool in fat fingering weight, 4 oz per skein and sold at String of Purls.

Christmas Stockings from Suzi

A wonderful knitter, Suzi B. from Denison, Iowa, sent photos of two Christmas stockings she knit:

On the left is a Christmas stocking I'd designed a couple of years ago. It's knit with Lamb's Pride bulky. On the right is the Purlie Fat Sock yarn, Sari colorway, knit in the Raindrop pattern (free with purchase of the yarn).

Well, this does my soul good. I'd gotten an email yesterday from knitty.com that two sock patterns I'd sent in were rejected. Nice to see that someone gets enjoyment from my patterns!
