The pie from t'other day, so I don't lose it.
( Peach pie x2 )
The reason I really wanted to post today, though, was I finished my entry for Dye for Glory which is a little contest for yarnies who are selling their wares at Sock Summit. I'm not going to Sock Summit myself (it's all the way on the other side of the continent, and I couldn't afford a table anyway), but I have a bunch of yarn going there on consignment with Yarny Goodness, and so I am eligible for this contest.
What the contest really means is exposure. And fun. I wasn't going to enter and my massive water quality issues were going to sideline me anyway. But I've managed to wrench everything back to working as it should by being extra careful about the water, and going back to vinegar. And I've taken some of my last skeins of undyed yarn and made a colorway I absolutely adore. And it's almost exactly how I imagined it when I thought it up, which pleases me greatly. I call it Crispin's Day, in reference to the speech in Henry V, since this is a contest about glory after all.
It's brown, as St Crispin is the patron saint of cobblers, tanners, and leatherworkers (and bikers, apparently). But this is no ordinary brown. Really, seeing is believing. Click the thumbnails to embiggen, of course.

If the weather holds long enough tomorrow, I'm going to get some bright sun pictures. I love, love, love this color. And I can make it again, so I don't have to feel bad sending it away. I've already dyed up another pair in the 6oz size, as this is the 4oz. Now, the question is whether I take my last 6oz skeins and make 2 more in this colorway, or if I make more Heirloom Tomatoes.
