Mostly Solids This Time

Happy Sunday!

Just as I was getting ready to dye yesterday, I discovered we were under a tornado watch until 9:00 p.m.   Probably not a big deal, but my area is prone to power outages during heavy storms and I didn’t want to have a dye session interrupted (hard to dye in the dark).   But I had to get it done, so I pressed through.

I was able to get a couple Twinsets done in a splatter-dye (#131-132 and #137-138), both of which included colors I don’t normally combine.   Twinset #143-144 is done with a 36-inch gradient fade from darkest to lightest reds.

Two other Twinsets to note are #129-130 and 133-134.  Many people have been knitting up versions of the Melt the ICE resistance hat (link to Ravelry), so these Twinsets were dyed for those who want it.  I made note of the recipe for these, so I can dye more if you need them.

Since I was somewhat rushing to beat the threatened storm, most of the yarns are solid or mostly solid.   Twinset #141-142 is a very dark purple-brown-navy blend of colors from last week.   Any of these would be excellent for your lacework, shawls, scarves, and so forth, or for doing color block work with a mix of solids.

These are all Phydlbitz Sock 2.0 (75/25 Superwash 25-micron Merino/Nylon, 460 yards, normally $28.00 each.  For Sunday and Monday, visitors are welcome to claim any two or  more skeins from this week’s collection (#121-144)  for $26.00 each.   Just send me an email (ray@knitivity.com) to claim the ones you want.

I expect to have these ready to ship on Wednesday or Thursday.
