Isn’t ironic that after the Julie Amero post I dye a new colorway for John of Yarn Ball Boogie that we name Inner Rage? I love it. It has shade of deep red, orange and bright yellow. They all blend together to make one beautiful skein of yarn. This skein shows the colors a bit more muted because it’s in my new yarn. I want to wait for the Indie Swaggers to get their yarn and then I’ll talk more about it.
I want to thank every single one of you who donated and posted about Julie Amero. I took all of the names, doubled the ones who did both, and the winner is…….
Congratulations and thank you Helena. You win a $25.00 gift certificate to Scout’s Swag.
I’m completely wiped out. I busted out all of the Indie Swag and another big order I had and now I’m ready to just sit here, watch tv, have a beer and knit on Supergirl’s Cabo Hoodie. Oh, and speaking of Indie Swag? I will have an announcement about round II very soon so make sure you keep an eye here on the blog. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to make it as fair as possible to everyone and Adam and I have something in the works. It sure pays to have a brilliant, computer geek as a good friend! And hey, have you checked out his new shop? He’s got some beautiful yarn for sale over at Yarn Nerd. Make sure and get on over there if you haven’t yet. He’s good peeps.
Also, if you have a minute, please go over to Carole’s blog and send her husband Todd some get well soon vibes. He was admitted to the hospital last night with an aggressive case of cellulitis, and is on IV antibiotics, as well as morphine for pain. He is still there as they want him on IV antibiotics for 48 hours. The scariest part was that he had two antibiotic shots yesterday which didn’t seem to do anything. Fingers crossed that what they gave him today will do the trick. I just tried calling her a bit ago but her cell phone doesn’t work in the hospital. I’ll update if I hear anything.
Supergirl just came running in to drag me outside to see this.
It almost matches the yarn.

Very interesting reading, I will blog this story tomorrow. It is amazing what can happen to innocent people isn’t it. There’s a warning there somewhere…ciao
It’s official - your sock yarn is washing and wearing the best. Want
Yikes - thanks for the heads up about Carole’s husband. How scary!
Tell Carole that I am thinking of her and Todd. Loads of love to her and the family.
That yarn is gorgeous!
Gorgeous, gorgeous yarn and roving!
BOY…it does match the yarn! BEAUTIFUL!!
This colorway is absolutely gorgeous. Between this and the Almost Glam I’m at a loss as to what to buy next. You are a dyeing goddess.
Beautiful - as usual!!
Thanks for the mention, I’m flattered!
And the Inner Rage yarn is awesome, I love the color combo.
I love that colorway!
Yet another gorgeous colorway - how do you do it?? Looking forward to hearing about Swag Round 2.
I’ll keep Carole’s husband in my thoughts - hopefully the meds will kick in today. Enjoy your well earned down-time!!
Love the colorways. I saw Carol’s blog, that is so scary about her husband. I’m
working tonight, is he at the hospital I work at? If he is I’ll try and go see her. Email
me and let me know.
Wow, what a colorful day! The yarn, roving and sky are all beautiful (Supergirls sense of urgency is wonderful). I’ll keep your friend in my thoughts. IV antibiotics are not fun, but they do work wonders.
what an intense colorway. beautiful!
Supergirl has great taste.
Great choice of color! Extremelt vibrant.
Can I just have one of everything you dye?! I will need to be on a life-long, perpetual payment plan, but it would be worth it! I love all the yarn I knit with from you? Can we arrange a test-knitting deal? Can I work for yarn?!
Wow! Yarn and sunset! I’m keeping my eyes on the blog in hopes of getting in on the next Indie Swag. You have such creative ideas!
Cogratulations Helena!
That yarn is giving me spring fever, so bright and colorful!
Yarn Question: Do you spin the roving into yarn or does someone do it for you?
What a great sky… combined with the rovings and a bit of dark, you have a new colorway going there.
