KnitterMe
is giddy with relief
she was knitting a pair of socks with some yarn
from Colorado that was dyed and spun by a man
who used to work for FED EX
he quit his job to raise sheep, spin their fleece and dye it
KnitterMe bought several skeins at her local yarn shop (LYS)
now anyone who is a dyed in the wool knitter
(see what i did there ? tee hee)
knows that she or he likes to know the source
of the yarn
who dyed it
who raised the sheep
even the gosh darn name of the sheep (in KnitterMe's case)
(she is a bit of an extreme afficianando)
well, the socks were becoming bigger than she thought
the son.out.law saw them and said
they will fit me !
yes
they will
they are a lovely tweed brown called Tumbleweed
the heel flaps and heel turns are a mix of colors
red yellow blue green
just exactly the same as the first yarn Kappy
ever used to weave squares on her weave.it loom !
Kappy calls it "FingerPaint" / smile and a wink
it was the first yarn she purchased from the LYS when it opened
in her town a few years go
which was sort of a miracle to have a yarn shop in a town devoted to
hiking biking river running climbing and so on In The Desert !
in the sock knitting relay the son.out.law socks are at the top of the queue
when she tells him this he says
he dreamt about them last night
aint that sweet ?
