I know, I know — much of the country is already freezing, and I am sorry about that.\u00a0 I just learned that we here in Houston, Texas, will be getting a possible freeze with sleet, ice, and maybe even snow from Monday through at possibly Wednesday.\u00a0 No guarantee how bad it will be, and no assurance that ERCOT will manage to keep the lights on with the Arctic blast coming our way.<\/p>\n

So, I’m not planning to dye anything this weekend.\u00a0 I do have a custom job to do before I make a new BRS collection, so I’ll be doing that first.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, however, I have uploaded all of the unclaimed yarns from the most recent two collections, over on the Blog Reader Specials page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the January 5 unclaimed collection:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here’s the unclaimed yarns from what I dyed on Saturday:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That yellow and green could most definitely be worked double-stranded together (one yellow, one green) and come up with a soft green similar to what I did with the Devyn Rae shawl sample (it was knitted in a lace-weight of yellow and green).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>By the way, if you would like a copy of the Devyn Rae pattern, named after one of my granddaughters, just let me know when you order yarns this week.\u00a0 I’ll add it to your invoice for $7.00 and will email you a PDF copy.\u00a0 It has pictures, charts, and other information for working a half-drop pattern repeat as shown here.<\/p>\n

Another fine pair that will definitely work together is this foursome; the underlying red base on #27-28 is the same red that I used for #33-34.\u00a0 Imagine the stunning stripes you could knit with these two … like maybe in a Fibonacci sequence, or in intarsia Harlequin diamond blocks or even Entrelac?\u00a0 Just looking at these two Twinsets together fills my head with ideas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Because I won’t be dyeing new BRS yarns this weekend but still have to pay the water bill and buy groceries before the freeze, EVERYthing on the Blog Reader Specials page<\/strong><\/a> can be yours for $24.50 per skein.\u00a0 \u00a0Offer is good through Sunday, so feel free to visit again over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Just email me your requests<\/strong><\/a> (ray@knitivity.com) and I’ll get you taken care of.\u00a0 \u00a0Everything on the BRS page is ready to ship, but if you wait until Sunday, I don’t know if your yarns will go out before Thursday — it all depends on the weather and if I can navigate to the street for the mail carrier.\u00a0 I lost my balance and took a fall last week and I don’t want to risk walk on ice if it occurs.\u00a0 If you order today or tomorrow, I can ship out on Saturday.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
