On a lighter Note...

I have SISC Fever, baby!

*PINS & NEEDLES*

Mine. My preciousssss come to me.... *hoards sock yarn*

Odd for a gal who'd only ever made one pair of socks... and they only ever fit a bottle of wine.

:P

I'll be buying some custom Otter Sock Blockers at some point. SQUEE!!

I'm a bit hyper. Can you tell? And because I am so hyper I think I'll share a piccie of my Breakfast this morning. I got up at 5:15 to go workout and was awake enough when I got back to make something creative. It was yummy. ;) It's my own recipe of twice cooked peaches and I'm very proud of myself. *L*

I am drinking some YUMMY Seattle's Best Coffee that I brewed. Yes I made coffee that doesn't suck. It's a Festive SISC Day Miracle!

Plus I added some Brown Cream De Cocoa and Caramel Baileys like Cream to it. ;^)

It's Nyummy!

Okay now here are some pictures of the Red Yarn I dyed for the Scarf Project. It occurs to me that taking pictures of red yarn is a bit more difficult than your average ducky eh. Or is it just me who can't get a photo of Red Yarn that doesn't look flashed out. o.0 The ones I'm going to show you are the "good" ones.  Err...

Same Yarn, right side is with a flash and the left is without. It's a LOT darker and better looking than it was.  :D

I dyed it with some Black Cherry Kool-Aid... and a few packs of normal cherry and one packet of Blue something or another. *L* I dyed both skeins at once so I'd get matching colors.  I'm pleased.

The yarn was hard to photograph as I said before. The picture I posted yesterday looks way better than it was. So to demonstrate the color I felt it was closer to I will tell you this, it was like Hex Code #FF0000. *L*

Here if you don't know what I mean. :P

I could go blind looking at that bright of a color! o.0 It was more an orange-ish red than a blue toned red if'n ya know what I mean. Sure it has it's place. Just not near me. ;)

Okay, and an hour and a half left waiting time. Does anyone else feel like the last three days have just dragged ass?! *L*

No worries, Cookie. I'm not Tipsy. Just hyper. ;)

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

NO MORE COFFEE FOR YOU!
Wonderful color, you done good. [Insert silly dance here.] The breakfast looks especially scrumptious. Never heard of that twice cooked peaches thingy. Twice cooked pork, yes.
It's so great to see you SO happy. Life is good.

Lovely dye job Otter! Great coffe is like champagne in this house. MFB was just talking to his Mom, they're comming for a visit in 8 days in counting. The counting is because they are bringing our supply of champagne. Tim Horton's coffee. We opened our last tin the other day and almost freaked. I know Seattle is known for their coffee - but we're partial to Timmy's!!!

I think it's time to switch to water, sweetie.

Nice yarn.

I just love it when people toss out hexidecimal codes in a knitting blog...

I like the new and improved red..I agree it is not easy to photograph.

That's it. Come down from the ceiling now. It's o.k. ...

The yarn looks much better and breakfast looked great. Want to cook for me?

Ann, she's a geek who knits. The hexi-codes are a normal part of life.

Yeah, normal is totally relative. *L*
