[Insert Clever Title Here]

I finished the Clapotis, but I'm not posting any more pictures until I dye the stupid thing. It's a really pretty knit, if dull. The final results will be lovely. Really. Even if I have to dye the thing black.

I might try the kool aid dyeing thing. And then I'll have a clever post title of like "electric kool aid acid test" which probably nobody will get. Except possibly Bruce.

Anyway, I have had a completely UTTERLY failed order from Webs. Totally not their faults. Well, kind of their faults, but not really. That was supposed to be for a sweater for Bruce. Eventually I will get the yarn. I swear, I've been on the phone with their very nice customer service representative, Theresa, about 16 times about this damn order. Poor lady. She will be very glad to see/hear the last of me.

So in the meantime, I am making this:

Cascade Eco + in some color or another.
YAY!

  1. Wow, the new site looks GORGEOUS! I actually gasped :) Great colors.

    And thanks for the Idlewood tip, what a lovely piece. I am really lovely a lot of her patterns lately.
