Ever since Amy knew she would be coming to stay with me she’s asked to have a dye party. We hunted down some 100% silk yesterday at Village Wools and Amy showed me her selection of Zulugrass she wanted in her own colorway. When I showed her the final skein she literally gasped. She was beyond ecstatic. That’s when I knew I got it right. ZuluKnitty will be a new colorway in the shop as of July 1st. It can be ordered in any of the fibers I carry AND I also ordered some 100% silk too!! That should be here within 2 weeks. However, I’m not taking any yarn orders until then so I can catch up with what I have to do this month. (remember that little contest?) It was almost bedtime last night before we realized we didn’t have a single picture of the two of us together. Therefore the ethereal glow action in Photoshop became my best friend for this shot. For any woman over the age of 30, ethereal glow can be your friend too. For free!
We had such a great time and even after three straight weeks of having company, I’m sad to see her go. It was fun to have someone else around who knows all the same dorky things I do. I can’t tell you how much time we spent sharing all of our cool internet finds with one another. It would go something like this, “Have you ever heard of XYZ? WHAT!? It’s the coolest thing EVER!” Repeat about 500 times. So yeah, Amy Singer is good peeps.
I also wanted to let you know that not only are all GoKnit Pouches stocked but I got two new colors in the large size too. I now have the large GoKnit in red & navy.
Also….I believe there is only ONE right person so far in the contest. You still have over 24 hours to guess if you haven’t yet. Please do not comment again if you have already. Some of you are seriously nutso. You do remember I have two small children a husband and other things I do beside dye yarn right? I probably spend about 1-2 hours a day just packaging up other Swag orders! I think I’d have to dye 24 hours a day for two weeks straight to hit some of those crazy numbers you’ve guessed!! Too funny. It’s been making me laugh so keep them coming. Speaking of Swag ….. I need to go mail some!

Holy cow. That’s beautiful yarn!
I saw the colourway at Knitty blog yesterday and I was coveting it :). It is really a gorgeous skein!
Oh my, I seriously love that colorway!!
So yeah saw this colorway this morning on Amy’s blog(which i am so bummed(really bummed) that I couldn’t make it into the city today to see her in Minneapolis) while having coffee. That’s two I’ve had to miss this year( miss seeing Vickie Howell in February) Zuluknitty..talk about instant happy feeling that summer happy feeling you know what I mean when you see certain colors. Oh and if we are guessing high its just because we think your colorways are so fab.Also I have to thank you for being one of the reasons for getting me internet hooked I have been able to link on such great sites between you and Vickie’s site its like I can explore for hours. Lets just my birthday wish list is growing by the day.:D
Awesome colours! Sounds like you are having fun!
That colorway is absolutely drool worthy! I’m definitely going to have to sneak in an order for some on one of these payday….just don’t tell hubby.
Sounds like you guys are have a great time.
It’s a perfect match! Way to go
She’s not the only one who gasped! I told YOU everything you dye is fabu!!
OMG - I’m in love with that colorway - is it August yet?
You make it so hard to resist buying new yarn I don’t need! LOL
That *is* an awesome colorway! Great job! I’m glad our guesses have you laughing - I know some of us have no idea how long it takes to dye yarn.
Like me.
Very pretty!
I l ove the new colorway!!!! I will wait until are open for orders. I think I want silk…. Yummy colors!!!
Love it!
I’m so glad you girlies had a great visit.
OMG!!! I love these last two colors you have created! I MUST HAVE THEM! Its
probably a good thing that I have to wait so that I can save my pennies to get
me some of this ultra cool swag:) Silk–I MUST HAVE SILK:) I see a ZuloKnitty
Tuscany Shawl in my near future hehe….
Love that color - I’m thinking it would be perfect for a Tuscany Shawl or a Clapotis, can’t wait to order some.
ZuluKnitty is FABULOUS!!!!!! And I am dreaming of it in silk!!! I am having a stash sale starting later today…..I might have to reward myself with a little zulu……
Gorgeous.
That is a beautiful colorway!!
Yum-yum! Gotta get me sum! That is some lovely silk—good job!
Oh, that new colorway is freaking gorgeous! It would make such a beautiful sweater for my daughter! I might have to find some dough in the budget…
Wow! the colorway is fabulous. Dear Santa, I’ve been good so far and I think it’s time for Christmas in July. I would like one fancy Zulugrass bracelet and a big skein of gorgeousness from Scout!
Sooooooo, are we not supposed to notice that your “sword” in the Kill Bill picture is the steele from your kmife set? Clever, really. I wouldn’t have thought of that. Wish I could wear yellow…….Well, my motorcycle jacket is yellow and black, but then again, I want folks to see me on the road!
Soo pretty! I saw the skein in the photo of you and Amy on your flickr and I really liked it. I will definitely order some…..but in what fiber? That silk is really pretty!
That is gorgeous yarn!! Sounds like you guys had a great time. =)
Oh my! I must have some of that yarn!!! I’ll be waiting for you to announce that you’re taking orders for the silk.
That is such a cute photo of the two of you.
oh la la! can’t wait to order my skein!!!!
Great picture of you two! I am so getting a skein of the ZuluKnitty!! Fab colorway!
A gorgeous colorway AND now silk too?! I just licked my monitor.
i miss you already. so glad we got to hang together and share our best knit swag secrets.
i still think “schwag” is not a mispronunciation, though.
also, the zuluknitty silk is prettier, if that’s possible, every time i look at it.
That’s some gorgeous yarn - the photo looks tactile. Thanks for the “ethereal glow” link - I could definitely use some of that! I’ll never need a face lift as long as I’ve got photoshop.
63 - that’s my final offer. As a fellow dyer I know just how long it takes to do it all, so I’m hoping it’s not more than that!
What a gorgeous colorway!
I loved “Kill Bill”, but “ZuluKnitty” is a Must Have!
Gorgeous new colorway, Scout! Very cool in the silk, too. I checked out the Zulugrass jewelry and they really are beautiful - if only you could carry some of their work at Scout’s Swag! Though I guess they don’t work with online retailers. And as you said, with the kids and husband and whanot, haha. I’ll be back ’round July 1 to see about some of that Zuluknitty business…

I’m so sorry I didn’t get to meet Amy Singer while she was in town!
the Zuluknitty is AMAZING!!!
Looks like a good time! Thanks to both of you for the link to the Leakey Collection. The Maasai have always interested me.
That is some serious pretty there!
I got some Zulugrass today!! It is so KEWL!!! This is going to be my stand-by gift for every woman under 60! And even some of the funky ladies over 60 are going to get them, too! Thanks Scout for the heads-up. It’s great to buy a wonderful product that helps women in a third world country!
ooooo pretty!
You’re going to let me finish my coffee tomorrow, right? ;op
That yarn is beautiful, I love the bracelets too.
Zulugrass was today’s Daily Om feature — and I thought, Hm, I just saw that at Scout’s!! Man, it’s all so gorgeous. Love your photo with the bracelet and the yarn.
