Gorgeousness.
My goodness, but you guys do nice work. Beautiful, beautiful yarn. I AM going to knit up that green you gave me, R, once of these days, when I get my knitting muse back (she's on hiatus for a while, methinks). EmBe (yes, I'm still here...)
Wow, that tencel came out beautifully. You guys taking knitting to a whole new level. Nice work!
Beautiful colors and beautiful dye job.
Hello from Bonaire. I was leaving on comment last Friday when all of a sudden as I hit publish - my internet connection went down. Greg had turned off our network! I was doing last minute(very last minute) blog comments! I didn't get yours posted though!
I was saying "WOW!"!!!
the sheen the sheen, i need my shades ;-)
Wow, what a great blend ... and the dyeing really pops the fibers! Let me start making my shopping list for Black Sheep '08 now ...
