I love the way this batch came out. It's superwash sock yarn, and for some reason, it doesn't like taking dye. I don't know if the process to make it washable also makes it resistant to dyes, but it takes forever to get it to take up dye. So, I decided to work with that on this batch, and I ended up with a really nice bright pastel blend. (There are more pictures up on my Flickr page, including a couple from before I reskeined).
I had a flash of inspiration at work today about something I could make for my secret pal. I can't blog about it in detail in case she reads this, but it's going to be a set of 4 or 6 "somethings", and I got one "something" started and finished tonight while watching Nightmares & Dreamscapes. I was especially watching for tonight's second episode, "The End of the Whole Mess", which is my favorite Stephen King story ever. TV Squad has a review up that sums up my thoughts almost perfectly. :)
