Stuff for me. March 6, 2007
I have been throwing a bump of roving into the dye pot at a rate of about one a day, just to get some stuff dyed. I had the intention of putting it in my etsy shop, but I like them so much I think I will be keeping them.
The bottom one is inspired by dandelions. I am thinking of submitting it to the Yarn Museum Flora gallery if I get it spun in time.
Even though I have deprived you of the opportunity to shop for roving, if you really want to do some shopping, I have somewhere to send you. Threadless.
Hurry over there cause they are having a $10 sale.

I like the subtle use of a unicorn…
And my students should like this one:
It would have helped them identify the 8 planets in the solar system for their midterm exam. Yes, college students in a class called “the Planets” missed that question.
Not that I don’t like your knitting posts. I love them.
But this post totally reminded me of why I read your blog. You must be the geologist. I’m in love with the chalkboard sheep. Needs to be a t-shirt.
I wouldn’t want to give up those rovings either, especially the blues and browns. And the purples with just a hint of blue. Dandelions is pretty nice, too. Oh hell, keep ‘em all! I’m going to have to do some dyeing this weekend, I can see that already!
well, even if we don\’t get partnered, i can save that one for you and we can do a private swap… i\’ve been popping them out like no one\’s business, am doing a bag with them now, so one more is no biggie… let me know, in case fate works against it at swap-bot…
So, I just bought 2 threadless shirts, and I believe I have you to thank for making me cool again
I love that site!
yes, the specks of blue on my granite seem that blue in certain light. Most of the time the whole thing is a dark gray but I picked it out at ABC granite in San Leandro particularly for those occasional blue flashes.
Wow – pretty roving!
