You may remember Bonita as my human shield from the House of Torment or the Ode written for her recent birthday. Most recently, she earned even more brownie points when she recommended the Walking Dead to me and loaned me the first couple of seasons on DVD. And so, it was only fitting that I make her Night of the Living socks (pattern by Cambria Washington) in this beautiful Dizzy Lettuce Claire de Lune yarn in the lichen colorway.

This is the prettiest cake I’ve wound up. It boded well for things to come.

I was right; I’m loving how this is knitting up. I just started the first run and can’t wait to drop the stitches.

That was the theme going into my dye day with a friend last Sunday. We ended up not using very much blue, but we did run out of purple kool-aid….and green. The Husband was sweet enough to run to the grocery store and pick up some more while we continued to cook yarn.

Here’s what we ended up with and I’ll post the “recipes” for each over the next few days in case you see something you like.

Happy March!

It seems I neglected to add the photos of the new yarn I got. I didn’t mean to be such a selfish cow. Here you go!

Already got the ball band off the Berroco to see how it would knit up.
hint: It is self-striping, so the German Twisted Cast On I prefer jacked up the striping and I ripped it out. Hopefully, a little Knitted Cast On action will set things to rights.

This one’s for Hunter, who seems to have infected me with her love of orange.
