I've dyed 829 skeins to date, or rather since I've kept track for the Sock Summit.
Thing is, I'm running out of yarn, and I still have colors to do. Somewhere in the fivehundreds, I got carried away with a Royal Purple I did in honor of Meg Swansen (still fighting with the camera to get THAT color right). Then I had a really good day where I did a nice bright red, and reds are hard to get right, so when I did, I dyed a whole bunch.
Then I did a tally and an inventory of my colors are realized I am missing some good colors. More yarn is on the way, and this weekend will really be the last dyeing marathon before everything has to be shipped out.
Let me show you two more Luminary Colorways today: this sunny yellow is a color I've had in the line-up before, and I am now dedicating it to Cat Bordhi. She is one of the brightest knitters I have ever had the fortune to meet (well, besides Lucy Neatby and Nancy Bush and Beth Brown Reinsel and Candace Eisner Strick and Norah Gaughan...) <>
Cat's Sun YellowThis one is for the Knitting Anarchist, Anna Zilboorg; somehow I've always pictured her in black...I'm probably wrong. But I LOVE this new color, where I dip the ends of the yarn in a bright turquoise first, and then I kettle dye the whole bunch in black....no picture in the world will do these justice.
Anna's Black/Turquoise
Let me know what you think.
I think that bright yellow yarn would be just the thing on a gloomy day! I also like the black/turquoise. I like all of them!!
ReplyDeleteOooooo! Love those yellows and blues!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are lovely, I especially like the multi-toned blue. But I have to say, what I covet most in this post is a giant box of blank yarn!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Karin! I love that blue. And royal purple? Purple is my weakness...now I have another reason to make it to your booth ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful yellow, and I love love love the turqoise and black!
ReplyDeletelovely..can't wait to see you at SS
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors! Sounds like a dyeing marathon to me!
ReplyDeleteJust that box of white skeins alone there is sitting there jumping for joy at all their possibilities.
ReplyDeleteHoly Moley Karin! These are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose people at Sock Summit are getting some of your best work to date.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see how the blue/black knits up! Am nearly done with my second sock for the summit. I hope it has a good time!!
ReplyDeleteI can't begin to think of what it's like to be around 1,000 skeins of yarn, much less going through them one by one in your hands, and turning them into such gorgeous vibrant colors. Those lucky ones going to Sock Summit, they are going to have the time of their lives at your booth.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to come see them in person at the Summit! Thanks for such lovely incentive!
