Lots of Pictures Tonight!

Okay, so I missed our meeting last week. Some people know why...if you don't just ask. I'll tell ya! So, last week I intended to show off the possum merino yarn that Mom brought back from New Zealand. *giggle* My friend from there thinks I'm nuts for having a wool fetish. *giggle*

I had also planned on showing off my attempt at Kool-Aid dying! It was soo much fun!! And messy! The microwave is a little dyed itself. LOL The yellow was lemonade. I put it in a jar and followed the directions completely, but I guess the skein was too big and it came out slightly mottled. So, I thought, why couldn't you try multi-colored? So I did! The one on the right is Orange and Black Cherry. The black cherry never did turn clear after about 10 minutes of dying. I had Lemonade in there, too, but it didn't come out right so I stuck the whole skein in the Black Cherry and let it cool in there. Don't know what I'm going to do with the yellow one, but I'd like to make a pair of socks with the two skeins on the right. Yes, there's two there. Hope there's enough for socks!!

Okay, so I was on this scarf exchange. I suggested it on an MB that I'm on and someone took it and just ran with it! We had a GREAT time with it and plan on having a dish cloth swap in April sometime. I receive this GORGEOUS scarf in the mail, (thank you Laura) and have worn it almost every day since! It's SUPAH warm and just beautiful! The general consensus is that it's Malabrigio. I haven't heard from her as to whether it is or not. As soon as I find out, I'll update this post.

There are a couple of quotes from that night, but I didn't bring that bag with me. I will post them with next week's quotes. Here's a link to the pattern that was used for my scarf:

Okay, here's a picture of the scarf I made for my exchange person being as I had to send it off without getting a picture of it!
