I'm in love!

Yes, I am in love. I got my yarn from my Dye-O-Rama pal this Saturday, and it is GEORGOUS! I'm so excited to knit up my first pair of socks with it. My pal was KnitPastis- go check her out and encourage her to dye some more awesome yarn! Here is a picture of the Fresh Squeezed Lemonade she made for me, inspired by my early childhood on the farm. I also dyed my first skein of yarn this weekend! It was a lot of fun. I used Paton's 100% wool and Koolade. It's worsted weight, so I think I am going to make a pair of Fuzzy Feet from Knitty with it. I am absolutely in love with the colors! It came out exactly how I wanted to. I used pink lemonade, cherry, rasperry with a sprinkling of grape, and the brown was half orange and half grape. I call it Cocoa Berry. Did I mention I am in LOVE with it? I had a lot of fun dying it up, and I am really excited to do more! I'm still debating what I want to for my pal, but I have a few ideas. I should get it done this week or next weekend, because I'm taking little Joie on vacation to Minnesota for 10 days on the 25th. I'm really excited, and it will be good to see my family again. Most of them haven't even met Joie, so it'll be good for her to meet grandparents and great-grandparents and all that. I think that's all for now- Joie's nap time seems to be over.
