How About a New Drink?

Can I serve you a Bluetini? Straight up or on the rocks?

bluetini

I’m having a hard time getting the colors just right in a picture. There are 3 shades of blue with a little bit of turquoise. It’s so pretty I keep staring at it. I’m really proud of this one. Here are a few other pictures to see it in a different light.

Almost two weeks ago Lucia and I talked about a possible Bluetini as a custom order for her. I’ve been thinking about it since then and finally was able to make it work today. (Of course now she’s gone and bought yarn and dye to do her own yarn….thpppt) That’s how my brain works with this. I really spend quite a bit of time working out the colorways in my head until it feels right and then I go for it. I’m kind of a perfectionist if you haven’t noticed.

Just in time for Project Spectrum-June huh? I dyed 3 of them and put them up at Etsy if you’re thirsty. I would be more than happy to do more of these too so just let me know if they sell out. I just Paypal you an invoice and voila, I get it out within a day or two. Usually you have your choice between superwash/nylon or 100% superwash merino. All of this talk of martinis has me thirsty……

    Ymmmmmmmmm.
    I was just going through your sold items on your Etsy shop… any chance you’ll be making some more Good & Pleanty colorway?? Keep me in mind if so - I’d love to purchase some.

    “Thpppt”?!? I’ve heard worse.

    I like it. I really, really like it. But I just spent a ton on dyeing supplies. A certain person who already views my yarn/fiber addiction, er, habit, er, stockpiling with suspicion would not be amused. If they’re still there in a few days, though… Right. Fat chance.

    Bluetini is just gorgeous, Scout - my favorite thus far, and I really like a lot of your yarns, including Appletini and Tarzhay!

    Here’s hoping you might whip up a “Teal-tini” sometime soon? And if you do, LET ME KNOW FIRST! :-)
