Eye Candy Friday

Posted in Redwood Living at 6:47 am by Lynette

For most bloggers, knitting bloggers that is, Friday is considered ‘Eye Candy’.  This means you take a photo of something really stunning and post.  There are several reasons for this.  One is we need to use those expensive digital cameras we all purchased.  Another is we (insert I) have problems comming up with blogs every day.  My life is pretty routine and Eye Candy Friday gives me a free pass as it were.  It also requires me to actually ‘do’ something in the week for show and tell.

So here you go, this is the new dye color this week.  I am trying out the new Ashford Dyes we will be putting up on our Internet Store, Connected by a Thread, and am very impressed.  The colors are bright and vibrant.  I was shooting for a confetti look to this sock yarn and I am sure when it is knit up into socks it will look just like a ticker tape parade.  I saw a Ticker Tape parade when I was 12, it was in Ohio for the National Soap Box Derby.   

I really want to call it Crayon box but I don’t want to get in trouble with the copywrite police.  Here are some of the other considerations for names: Box of Six, Color Box, Primary Melt.  I really want to come up with something unique and interesting but, apparently, my unique and interesting mind is not working today.  Maybe it was those two donuts I had for breakfast.  But wait…how about Ticker Tape?   I like it….

Hmmmm…..enjoy your weekend!
