The only person to guess the correct number was Theresa. The correct number was 89. Some of you are nutso! I dye a few hundred skeins each month but this month I’ve tried to limit it with the three weeks of company. In the contest rules I said you could not go over so there were four others who guessed 88. The other winner, picked by Supergirl, is Limedragon! Can you two please send me your addresses and I will mail off your new skeins of Kill Bill. The bad-ass powers shall become yours within 2-3 days!Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone for playing. I think I need to do contests more often.
For anyone who missed it last time, my Knitty Gritty show airs today at 2:00pm EST on the DIY Network. If you want to laugh at me for being the biggest dork ever, set your Tivo’s and check it out. Seriously!
Just a reminder that I’m not going to be taking any new yarn orders until July 1st. I have to get this Indie Swag out and a bunch of other orders before I can take on anything more. Plus, one of my best friends is coming down for the weekend from Steamboat Springs to meet me for the night in Santa Fe which means I lose two more days this weekend to dyeing. I won’t complain about this though since just the two of us are staying at Hotel Santa Fe for the night. I forsee cocktails by the pool and adult coversation for a good solid 24 hours without anyone needing anything from me except for maybe another drink order. Maybe I’ll be able to also sleep past 5:15am which is when the boy woke me up this morning. Isn’t that lovely!? /sarcasm.
Off to fill out the dye board for the day. It’s been so hot I don’t know how long I can actually stay outside working today. Dyeing yarn in 100° weather is not a lot of fun. I’m off. Time to fuel up on caffeine and git going.

Your weekend sounds lovely…not the early wake up call at home. I’ve got an early riser too…and I can’t figure out why he doesn’t need more sleep. I think I’ll be talking to my husband about a night away. It’s harder to arrange someone to watch the kids so we can go…but maybe he’ll let me go by myself. Enjoy yourself. KM
You are NOT a dork, you goose! Enjoy your mini-holiday!!
What a nice hotel! I can see why you are looking forward to some nice time off:)
Wow - more fun friends in town! I’m jealous.
89 skeins of yarn? Plus being a mom?
Plus running your store? That’s a ton of work!
Congrats to the winners. Have a great time with your friend. I am sure it will be a nice get away.
How fun, and congratulations to Theresa too!
Have a lovely weekend! I’ll send you an email with my address. : )
TiVo? What’s that?
What I need to know is when is it going to be available on Netflix?
Congrats to the winners
I saw it the first time I didn’t see and dorkiness.( yes I know its really not a word) I guess I’ll have to watch again and see:) Oh I did knit that headscarf you were wearing in the show shortly after seeing the show from the link you provided and my seventeen year stole it. Well actually she borrowed it never gave it back. The picture of you and Vickie reminded me of it. I have to get it back. Have a great weekend have a cocktail those of us who can’t away. Congrats to the winners!
Damn, I missed the whole contest…….damn summer!
I have already told my kids that we have to leave their tennis clinic early so that
mommy can watch scout on tv!
Have a great time away with your friend. The hotel looks awesome!
Have a super weekend! You deserve it! Gah…where on earth did I get 200+!! hehe
I did actually set my DVR to record you! I was working from home yesterday and turned on the TV while I was eating lunch. I was bummed that I missed you by one day, but I did set it to record so I can watch you later! I’ve met a STAR!
Darn! Off by 1 skein. So close yet so far. Oh well. I had fun guessing.
Congrats to Theresa and Limedragon! Kill Bill looks awesome!
Have a fun weekend
Well, this certainly is shaping up to be a great day! Nice to know that my guesstimating skills are still in peak form.
And Scout, you amaze me. I only have one kid, and struggle to get anything done. How you manage a pair and your business is beyond me. If anyone deserves a great weekend to herself (and a friend), it’s you.
When you said only one person guessed it I thugh for sure it had to have been me. Wouldn’t that be fun if you really had over 3k to dye? haha.
On the plus side, the yarn dries FAST in all that heat. :O
Since I am one of those who will be on the receiving end of the Indie Swag, I can be patient. I am thinking that I will have to order some yarn soon. I like Kill Bill and I do not like yellow as a general rule. Just remember that having fun is really much more important.
Have a fun & relaxing time in SF–hope it will be cooler for yuo up there! I;ll try again on your next contest.
What a beautiful place to spend a week-end! Beautiful, enjoy.
I happened to play hooky today and caught your show! One of those days where I felt like I also won
You rocked on TV, and you rock on colors!
I loved the show. One quick question….where did you get the neat measuring scoop? I have some dye on the way, but I don’t want to use my kitchen spoons…..
Thanks!
