PDY Sock Club, Dec Shipment




First pkg for PDY’s Dead Poets Sock Club. The featured poet was revealed to be Langston Hughes.

The yarn is named after Hughes and inspired by him and his poem Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

I actually got to keep yarn this round (my test skein and a skein that got mangled in the spin dryer), I used the mangled yarn to cast on some Charade ankel socks-

Memories…

I was looking at something in my Flickr stream when I stumbled upon my first dyed yarns, with kool aid of course. Then I looked at the date the photos were taken, Dec 11th 2006, ah, who knew 2 years ago playing will wool and kool aid would lead me here.

My first kool aid dyed yarns-

I gotta do those with acid dyes and make them colorways, I love the orange and pink.
