usolicited yarn porn

i am the world's lamest blogger. i haven't updated in ages because i haven't been doing a whole lot of knitting. instead i've been dyeing yarn. so i give you random picture of yarn i've dyed, complete with cat whiskers in the frame. this colorway is called Ledroit Park after the neighborhood where I live and do the yarn dyeing thing. the home of neighborhood fiber co., which now has a skeletal website here. the cat whiskers are from hannah's helpful kitty, katja. have i mentioned lately, how much i love green and purple together?


and another symptom of my lameness, here's the picture that i took weeks ago of the gift from my punk rock gift exchange secret pal. an adorable card and tin, both all prettied up in collage. the tin has already been appropriated for the kitchen use of storing tea in a perfectly airtight manner. and you can hardly see the blank scrapbook that has become the place to document yarn exploits. it's like a crazy scrapbook of business practice. like quickbooks, but prettier. and what gift exchange would be complete without yarn. pretty girly pink yarn that has become part of a scribble lace scarf. scribble lace is my current obsession. friends of mine will be getting lovely gifts this winter.
