AUTUMN WEAVING TIME!

It's back to weaving time again! 
But what do raptors, dogs, and rodents have in common? 

Seahawks, Huskies, and Gophers had me on the chase for some scarf orders in team colors. But getting the right shades of color took some effort. 

After explaining over the phone to a dyer in Maine what I wanted I now own two skeins of sock yarn that will have to get used some other way. This is not Maroon and Gold and the yellow is not dyed in two places on the skein.
what shall I do with these? 
I even gave hand dying my own sock yarns a try. Let's just say I'll have to work on that more in the off season. 

But Serial Knitters shop in Kirkland came through with their in house dyeing.  
University of Minnesota Gophers -- some better colors to work with.

It's a match!


Serial  Knitters Dyehouse also made up some UW Husky colors. But I'll have to add pictures of those when I get a camera that will actualy show purple colors. --Ok, so Frank's phone is way better!
