I didn't think I had any knitting content to post today because I haven't had a spare minute to knit since Tuesday night and my gauntlets are THIS CLOSE to be being finished but haven't quite gotten off the needles yet. (I know that sentence was ridiculous in its longosity, but I also have no time to edit myself.)
Anyway, a package was waiting for me today when I got home from a fieldtrip to the zoo with W-Man's kindergarten class. I had no recollection of ordering anything except yarn two days ago and there was no way it could have arrived so fast. I thought. I opened the box and beheld the loveliness of three giant skeins of "blank" yarn, all ready for Dye-O-Rama. Now I have to order the dye and before you can say P. D. Q. Bach, I'll be ready to fire up the crockpot. I'm feeling ever so confident, thanks to Susan's, Scout's, and Adriane's tutorials. My in-laws gave me that crockpot for Christmas, like, four years ago, and I FINALLY have reason to get it out of the box! Oh yeah, the three yarns are all from Wool2Dye4; from the top:
Pony 2-ply: 100% worsted extra-fine merino; natural, unscoured. Light airy yarn for shawls, socks, baby clothes, embellishment. Fingering wt. 3,500 yards per pound.
Wool2Dye4 SuperSock: 100% merino in superwash. This 2-ply yarn is perfect for shawls, baby clothes, fie sweaters, gloves, and ... socks. Made in the USA. A little heaver than fingering wt. 1,960 ypp.
Kona Superwash Merino: 100% merino; natural, unscoured, machine washable. A must-have versatile yarn, it dyes beautifully. DK wt. 1,120 ypp.

I LOVE PDQ Bach!! "Look, her face could launch a thousand ships, thousand ships, thousand ships..." Your Chucks are hot, too. I want a plaid pair like I had when I was in college. ;)
