Happy Saturday!<\/p>\n

First up — for all but a few states in the U.S., tonight we turn the clocks forward one hour, to begin Daylight Saving Time again.\u00a0 For me this means I will have better opportunity for outside yarn pictures before the sun gets high enough to interfere.<\/p>\n

Back in the Spring of 1984 when the clocks changed, I was quite oblivious in the moment.\u00a0 I got up, got dressed and drove to church in plenty of time for the 11:00 service.\u00a0 The parking area was full but I found a spot and managed to walk in the door just in time for\u00a0 the 12:00 closing Amen and dismissal.\u00a0 OOPS!\u00a0 \u00a0 Thankfully I was not the pastor at that particular church. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Do you have a funny\/awkward story about the time\u00a0 change?<\/p>\n

Anyway, I pulled\u00a0out what seemed to be an unusual combination of dyes to mix for last night’s dye session, but I ended the session thinking I did fairly well.<\/p>\n

A few I want to point out first — Twinset #201-202 is a deep rich Charcoal; #205-206 is a nearly solid Tangerine; #211-212 is a saturated Military Green with an overwash of Milling Blue.<\/p>\n

Twinset #197-198 is a light wash of the Tangerine with all-over random speckles of black.\u00a0 I could be mistaken, but I think a Triplet of the charcoal, tangerine, and the coordinating speckles would make a smashing shawl or scarf.<\/p>\n

Last week I introduced a new-to-me technique of speckling 4 colors across 4 sections of the hank so that each quarter has 2 colors speckled together.\u00a0 \u00a0Both of those skeins were snatched up almost immediately, so I tried the same technique this week with four different colors to create Twinset #213-214.<\/p>\n

As always, if you need a better view of a particular Twinset today or tomorrow, please let me know so I can isolate just that pair if no one else has already claimed it.<\/p>\n

These are all Phydlbitz Sock 2.0 — 75\/25 Superwash 25-micron Merino\/Nylon, 460 yards.\u00a0 These are normally $28.00 each, but for Saturday and Sunday, you may claim any two or more<\/strong><\/span> from this week’s collection (#195 – 218) for just $26.00 each skein.\u00a0 \u00a0They will all be reskeined for shipping, of course, but I like to offer this Preview Pricing discount because I don’t have to photograph the reskeined yarns or edit and post those image on the Blog Reader Specials page.\u00a0 Claiming yarns from the rack saves me a little work, so I’m happy to save you a little money.\u00a0 Win-win!<\/p>\n

To claim the ones you want just send me an email<\/strong><\/a> with your selections.\u00a0 I will mark your selections off the Available Yarns chart below and send a PayPal invoice.\u00a0 On payment of your invoice, I will prepare your shipping label so that when the yarns are dried and processed I can ship them.<\/p>\n

I expect to have these ready to ship on or about Wednesday.<\/p>\n
