The Secret Yarn….

By ScoutJ | Posted in Knitting, Project Spectrum, Socks, Yarn Pr0n |

First of all I finished knitting my bag. I’ll post pictures once I have the handles and the lining completed. Allison will have the pattern up for sale this week so you can buy it. The best part about finishing the bag was that I finally got to play with that secret hand-dyed yarn I told you about. I can spill it now because she couldn’t wait any longer to announce it on her own blog. That her, would be Mama-E. She asked me about a month ago if I would test some yarn she had dyed and let her know what I thought. She gave me a few choices and I went with colors I don’t normally pick and she named the colorway Supergirl. Actually she named it Scout at first and that didn’t really fit so she just dyed a new colorway and named that Scout. Isn’t that gorgeous? Keep an eye on her blog as she gets her business underway. She has an amazing eye for color as you can see. Here is my beautiful Supergirl.

And of course Supergirl the yarn, has to be made into socks for the real Supergirl. It’s also a great project for Project Spectrum dontcha think?

I’m really enjoying how the colors are knitting up and Supergirl loves them too. She keeps coming over to see it and says, “Mama? I love the colors!”

So keep an eye out for Mama-E’s C*EYE*BER FIBER.

    That’s some nice colors! Looking forward to seeing the finished pair. Kids are lucky they have such small feet, faster to knit for.

    Oh, that Scout colorway is NICE. The Supergirl colorway is fun, but the Scout colorway has all my colors in it. :) How fun!

    What a great name for a yarn!

    Can’t wait to see your bag. There are several bag patterns I want to
    get to this year and some have lining to be sewn in.

    I don’t know how to do this, so i have been procrastinating!!

    So pretty! She did a great job on all her colorways.

    btw, I just got my first order of STR (not for the club, just my own order). Wait ’til you see what I did to the box. It’s not pretty ;o)
