Were you guys talking to each other behind my back? Why did the BFL fiber colorway suddenly become important for you to see in Sock!? Carol asked for it a couple of years er...weeks ago and then we had a couple more of you piping in a little while later. It has been on the white board out in the dye room but I have to be good and handle some standard things in order of their appearance, before playing with new stuff. Yes, it was bouncing around in my brain, I admit it. Here you go, Carol.
Thank you Caroline for bugging me with the fiber
request. It has been an interesting ride. Good for my brain.
The new hat kit is close to being ready for you. It is going to be wonderful and affordable and a quick project for you or for gifts. I took pictures of a couple of the colors that I have done with the Fat Bunny, just to tease you. :o)
Oh yes and here is the new red on the block...Ruby, as seen in kid mohair.
That's all of your fiber eye candy for the day. :o)
So, question for you, how does the ruby compare to the valentine's red?

Oh, it is a jewel tone with a bit of a toning color that makes it a bit richer and deeper.

I had no idea you had a blog. How did I miss that? I've been lusting after some yarn dyed by you, seemingly forever, and have linked to your yarn site more than I should. I was unable to get to Convergence this spring to see your booth....but I will someday. Love your colorsense. I'll be back regularly now.
just wondering, did you ever get up to see that pc of real estate with the barn with the skylights?

Emerald City Sock??? EMERALD CITY SOCK??? Sorry to shout - but I MUST HAVE some. Will you tuck a skein into your suitcases for me when you fly east? Caroline's Shopping List, entry #1. Wow. Socks to match my sweater. Nobody will recognize me with my clothes coordinated like that!

Emerald City in SOCK! Wooooo wooooooo! I'm in love. Now the non-spinners can knit with this beautiful colorway too, and spinners who don't want to spin sock weight. (That would be me in the later catagory) Thanks Lisa!

Okay, most folks are orgasmic about the Sock! I confess it's the Wild Things Bunny stuff that's got be going WOW! Love the other colorway, too! So many choices, so hard to you-know-what.
Yum, yum.

Ooohhh, Ruby! Why is this particular red calling to me? I'm a blue person, not a red person.

Lazarus has risen from the dead and has fallen in love with Fat Bunny! Now this is one amazingly wonderful yarn; everything I love about a fat yarn for my beanies. The hand is scrumptious, the finished fabric is thick and substantial and with all of that angora in it, promises to be ultra warm. And of course those colors that the girl is famous for!
Lisa knew I'd love Fat Bunny for my beanies and she was right. I've already got my order in for more skeins that I can afford. Thanks Lisa for continuing to provide so many amazing yarns to all of us yarn lovers out here. Fat Bunny is yet another winner in your ever-broadening circle of winners!
