An addition to the photos on 2/12 Janell Roseman writes: My sister just sent me these photo’s. I think it may have been close to the end or even after everyone left, but last dye day I did a skein of Knit Picks Bare yarn in red, gold and black (can’t find a picture of it). The red and gold are my high school colors and my sister still attends a lot of the sport functions down there. I made the skein as a Christmas present for her. I only added black at both ends of the skein because I don’t have very good luck putting colors together without some bleeding and I didn’t want orange in the mix. So the red and gold encompassed most of the length of each side, with as little black on the ends as possible (actually ended up with more of that than I wanted). To make a long story even longer, she made a scarf and I thought the pattern it created was pretty amazing, so am passing the pictures along.
