read something you wrote a long time ago and thought to yourself, “Wow, who wrote that? Oh! I did! Wow…..I sound wicked smart!” (I like to use wicked as much as possible for Dave) Or maybe with something you knit? Do you know what I’m talking about? That’s how I felt this morning when I woke up and saw this.
I stared at it for a while and couldn’t really believe that not only had I made all of this but they’re sold and going to new homes. (That one skein of Pumpkin S’mores is still for sale) It’s just kind of a weird thing for me to see all of that and know it’s all made by me. Has anyone noticed in my Etsy materials I put down that my yarn is dyed with *love*? It’s true though! The other thing I’m pretty proud about is my ability to recreate colorways. At first I didn’t think too much about it but after my first custom order I realized I had better start paying attention to what the hell I was doing and write it down if I wanted to do this right. Lucky for me and my OCD tendancies this is the perfect job for me. I love exactness.
Okay. I’ll stop babbling about that for now. For all of my friends back East, you’ll be happy to know that I woke up to clouds. It might not be nice today. I thought you’d like to hear that. Also, My leg is slowly feeling a bit better. It still hurts a lot but I’m going to try and get a little job in this morning and see how it feels. This mama is a very cranky mama if I can’t exercise.
I came back to clarify. This is a bad day in Albuquerque…….
See? We have clouds! The horrors!
*runs off before someone hits me*

I re-read some of my stuff sometimes and think I sound way smarter than I am. Glad I’m not the only one.
I am amazed by your dyeing abilities. You’re doing a great job!
Isn’t it amazing how that works? “Hey, I made that!” And, no matter how many times your mother told you it doesn’t matter if anyone ELSE thinks you did a good job, as long as YOU know you did, the validation feels really, really good.
I don’t want you to have clouds: 1) I am too nice a person for schadenfreude 2) clouds generally move from west to east. Enough already!
The wool looks great, I love the colors in Scouts scout. Glad your leg is feeling better.
i cannot wait to receive my fruit salad!! woo hoo!
hope you are able to jog!
Ha! I knew you’d get clouds sooner or later ;o)
Don’t overdo with that leg…
Oh and no, you *didn’t* win my contest - go figure ;o)
Wow. The colors are amazing - wicked amazing, even!
And you sell out as soon as you make them! Wow! Again.
I dyed my first yarn this weekend (haven’t posted the pix yet). The colors turned out nice and bold and bright. But I used too many colors & don’t care for the yarn once it’s knit. Oh well. I still have three skeins to dye.
Is that one in the middle front the one youc alled “Orchids”? It’s gorgeous… and I can see it so much better in this pic than in the one you put up previously.
Scout’s Scout is fantastic, too.
I’m glad your leg is feeling better. I’m very excited about my yarn, so thank you! I hope you had a nice mother’s day.
Love your colors — I just added you to my Etsy favorites. Do you do custom jobs? (I’m sure you’ve answered this before, I just don’t remember…)
I came back to say, “bite me.”
I did my first dying this weekend using a ‘getto’ board. I am hooked and thank you for opening up this new skill that I’m sure will cost me lots of money!
You are SO GOOD at this dyeing stuff - gorgeous colors, all.
Hmph about the “bad day” in Albuquerque. :p
I’m glad the lef is getting better.
And you SHOULD be proud….just look at that beautiful yarn!
My yarn came in the mail on Saturday it looks so wonderful and you were right even better in person. I can barley wait to start knitting it up! I have to get pictures up soon! I don’t have any of your wonderful lables for my yarn but I will make sure to put up a link to your site. You sure do have a talent for this!
BEEEEEE-UTIFUL yarns. But what is up with that sky? I recognize the white, but you have a blueness I only recall from a vague memory from a long long time ago…and New England hasn’t been the same since.
Ok, so one of these days we are going to have to plan a trip to Albuquerque,NM ! I just heard on TV that
it is one of the best places to live 2006!!! Your yarn dyeing ROCKS!!! I loveeeeeeeeeeee it !
Don’t get too cocky about the weather chicky. I know what it’s like inJuly, August and September with those crazy thunderheads and lightning! Not to mention the wicked (used just for you) cold (but dry) winters. Other than that, yeah, it’s not bad.
Thank goodness your yarn keeps moving out of your Esty store so fast. It’s prevented me from giving in to temptation. I don’t know how much longer I can hold out.
What!?!? There’s NO such weather here!
EVER!
girl, you. are. incredible.
If you’re ever up to a trade for anything, just let me know. I’ve been a sock-yarn-dyeing MANIAC for a while now, and the sad thing is that I only actually -knit- with other people’s yarn. *facepalm* It’s some genetic flaw in me, I know.
http://storytellers.etsy.com to see some of it.
Pfffffft!
That pumpkin s’mores yarn is gorgeous. (Alas, I bought two skeins of brown sock yarn at MDSW.)
they are really beautiful and you should be proud!
(you should rub some of your OCD off on me. i never write a thing down…)
Girl, you should be proud! I have no skillz in the dye arena so I am totally humbled by your gorgeous yarns.
It is cold and rainy here…brrrrrrr…you better head for the hills!
Ann
c’mon. stop teasing the drowned rats on the east coast. tha’ts not nice. besides, we kinda need rain here in the SW. and besides, i’m about to join the east coasters. crap.
The yarn is gorgeous! But I think I need to hit you with a flipflop for that “bad” weather sky! Man, we count it good here if it’s actually *gasp* sunny. Stupid spring.
your yarn is wicked awesome!
Look at all those clouds! I hope you’re staying inside where it’s safe. ;^)
I reread my old stuff and wonder if I ever make sense. *L*
Beautiful yarns!
Hey there Scout! you’re doing such a great job with your dyeing!
You’re my new superheroine!!
What is that gorgeous purplish yarn in front, on the right? I’m loving that!
You get the evil eye for the “bad” weather pic but the yarns are beautiful!
I love your yarn. The colorways are fabulous. Seeing the picture of the Albuquerque style home and the blue house made me a little home sick too. I grew up in Albuq.
You know you ought to be proud of yourself.
Your yarn is gorgeous, I can’t even begin to comprehend how you produce such loveliness. And that you can actually repeat it. You have huge talent.
