Twist and Shout!
I worked at the store today with my assistant manager, Purl Bonomo. We met with Linda Whitt, our Louet Rep. We bought Euroflax linen and alot of the Gems fingering weight in an undyed version...the same yarn Claudia Handpaints uses and Koigu used as of 6 months ago...I'm going to try my hand at dyeing. If the yarn turns out amazing, I'll sell it thru this website, since it will only be small batches. Should I label the yarn "SkeinCocaine" or a nice sweet pretty child-friendly churchgoing sounding name like "Jesus hearts this yarn" or "Puppies in a basket" yarn or "Yummiyarn" or "Kosher Yarn" ? Hahaha...well, anywho, Purl and I also picked out some Alpaca With A Twist! I wound some of it, sheesh, 450 yarns of 100% Alpaca, retailing for around 28 bucks? Not bad, eh?
I'm not sure what to knit out of each color. I only have one skein of 3 different colors. Hats and matching scarves for the Va. Tech Marching band? Or 700 preemie hats?
We shall see...Oh, Hey Julia, go see Pan's Labyrinth please so I can call and discuss it with you. There's a scene in there that I need to talk about with you. And Knitless...never ever see this movie. Period.
I'm still so grossed out by the movie but it has
stuck with me. I just can't decide if the movie was good or not.
