I’m a Big Fat Liar.

By ScoutJ | Posted in Dye me up!, Yarn Pr0n |

I dyed a bunch of orders yesterday and was also finally able to dye a skein for Emy because her Twizzle Fo’ Shizzle got lost in the mail. Can you believe that? Her yarn just vanished. Do you think the mailman stole it? I told her I’d re-dye her something and she asked for something in between Raspberry Parfait and Million Dollar Baby. I e-mailed her yesterday saying it would be a one of a kind colorway only for her. But damn. It’s too pretty not to do again! Sorry Emy. I’m a liar. I even want one of these for myself. I’m done telling y’all the colors in my colorways because it seems like some people out there are dyeing some yarns way too close to my colorways. Whose idea was it to do this whole DYE-O-RAMA thing anyway? Grumble grumble. But here’s a picture. It’s beautiful. This one is Emy’s. I might just do a few of these today with some Bluetini’s so head’s up. Tommy likey! Tommy want wingy!

Here is Illini all skeined up and ready to go. I’m not usually an orange person but this is actually really freaking cool. I can’t wait to see those stripes!

OKay. Time to motivate. T. is at work today and I’m home with the kids. The JCC opens up at 10:00 so I think we’ll just go swim. Have a great Memorial Day.

    That orange yarn is also the Univ. of Tennessee’s colors…maybe I’ll need to order some for Hub if he get’s into the UT grad school this fall?

    I’m a little tight in the budget right now until July (Estes Wool Fest you know), but I would *love* to at some point get a pair of stripers with colors like my old site… http://knitting.designedlykristi.com if you enjoy dyeing something along those lines…

    You’re doing great and I’m sure others who are doing similar colorways pair in comparison to yours! :-)

    pretty! I can’t wait to see how the school colors one knits up.
    I love the one for Emy (does it have a name, i didn’t see it up there)
    I clicked on fiber fool’s link and think those colors would ROCK.
    You’re doing amazing, and all those similar colorway people suck.

    How auspicious, Scout! Guess where I’m moving to tomorrow? Illini-land. For real.

    Love the yarn. I swear I’m going to have to knaw my hand off to keep from ordering.

    Your top picture makes me think of a giant yarn caterpillar about to eat that building or something. :) The colors are wonderful.
