The registration for Stitches West is open, and like a good knitter I promptly called the first day so that could get into my selected classes. I felt like Charlie Bucket when I received my confirmation in the mail.
And then things got even better. I received an email from Deb Menz, who is a color genius, that my number came up. She and Sara Lamb got together and created the Color by Numbers Dye Series. They are books with dyed yarn samples and recipe/formulas so that the colors can be duplicated over and over. I had been on a waiting list for these dye books for about two years. And lucky me the books are being assembled and distributed again. I got my manual yesterday.
And here is a picture of me the next morning (Sunday) in my pajamas painting away at a shawl blank. I think I ended up getting dressed about 2 pm after the roaster went into the oven. There was no sense getting any real clothes getting messed up with dye. Thanks Jerry, for keeping the kids away from me while I got my dye fix. I haven't done a machine knit blank since California.
Darla looks completely disgusted with my antics. But I know my knitting friends will understand my urgency!
