Ok, the first picture is a beautiful tonal blue yarn, colorway is I’m the Resistance. I had her do a special request to dye the tonal blue, as a full skein, that was in the American Woman color way I bought from her a couple of months ago. I wanted to use both in (I think I’ve settled on this but it might change so many things to knit :P) a cowl and fingerless mitts or hat to match for my grand daughter. The business is Awenydd Yarn & Fiber (click on catalog under the label at the top of the page to see all her beautiful pre-dyed color ways, you can also do a special order request like I did.) You can find her on YouTube where she does a Monday podcast reworking some of her older color ways while you watch her dye, a Wednesday podcast while you watch her dye from a random selection of colors of dyes from a random generator, it’s fun, and on Fridays she talks about her finished projects and works in progress etc. This request came out perfect! This is her Triple Goddess base, 100% super wash merino and a whopping 490 yards! It’s a light fingering weight. Would be perfect for a shawl, and to be honest I still haven’t ruled that out, lol. I have time to make my final choice :P. She also threw in a sample of her color way Reverie and 2 beautiful stitch markers and a progress keeper!
My son and his husband own an alpaca farm (I help out on Saturdays because they are open to the public on Saturdays.) I’m exhausted just thinking about how much work a farm takes as a business.) They took a well deserved week’s vacation a couple of weeks ago and went to FL to Disney World and Universal Studios to get away and rest, while Ev’s parents took care of the farm for them. They brought me back a Mandalorian Hoodie, a Harry Potter Gryffindor tee and 2 new pins (a Gryffindor and a Mandalorian) for my knitting project bag. You can probably tell I’m obsessed with Harry Potter and the Mandalorian :). So cool that they brought me something, it made me smile. The pin on the bottom is a zipper needle felted sheep I bought at a fiber festival a couple of years ago. In the next two pictures they are enjoying some of their Disney World adventures, they like Star Wars too.
The bottom right is just a cool picture, it’s called “a one in a million shot”.

That’s a lot of knitting you’re signing up for!!!! That blue is just so gorgeous! I’m amazed by dyer’s color eye!
What a great trove of treasures you have ❤
It’s wonderful your son and Ev were able to get away, and it looks like they were having a blast! Good for them, everyone needs a reality break now and again!
Love that picture, it’s just so magical!

It is and I’m knitting my fingers to the bone trying to keep ahead of it. :P. I’m almost to the point on the blanket I’ve been knitting to decide if I want to add 10 more patterns (a pattern is only 4 rows). I’m leaning that way. The blue is very pretty and I think I’ve found a cowl and fingerless mitt patterns that would work well for them. Let’s see how many times I change my mind before I start it lol.
They had fun, they are up very early to feed the alpaca and check their water, then off to a 40 hr a week job each, then back to feed the alpaca and check their water and anything else that comes up and then all day on Saturday setting up, meeting and greeting for the public and then and taking down for the public to visit. They are getting ready for their hay rack rides on Friday eveings (which includes making smores after the ride and he’s thinking about letting them make a dryer ball to take home :), and all their soft gorgeous yarn should be coming in in a week or two. That will have to be tagged and put in their shop. Bless their hearts for all the work they do, glad they could take a break.

That IS a lot of work. I bet they just love when people come and appreciate all they are doing! Makes for a tired man at the end of the day I’d wager ❤
Yeah, go 10 more patterns – since you thought about it you’ll now regret it if you don’t so it! Besides, what are you gonna do with your extra yarn (you’ll have to decide!), might as well use more on your blanket!

Very pretty yarns, how lovely to get some freebies too. Your son and his husband looked to have a very fun time and the gifts they brought you back are perfect for you as a super fan of those films/shows.

I was absolutely delighted at their choices :). I guess we never outgrow being a kid :). That thick hoodie will come in extra handy this winter, our winters get down to -28 C to -45 C depending on the wind chill.

Love the blue tones! Looking forward to seeing the yarn in a project. Glad your son and his husband got to relax for a bit, I wonder if they were welcomed back with exuberant enthusiasm by the alpacas (and co.) 🙂 The pins and tees look like so much fun, no wonder you’re smiling. 🙂

I they miss Ev and Tim who have had some of them as long as 9 years, but they will welcome anyone who comes to give them treats :P.
I think I have decided on a cowl, I’ll blog about that probably in a week or two. Putting up a new cria at the farm blog today :).
