Ready for Sock Wars

Blue Lagoon Close up
Originally uploaded by wavybrains.

This is the yarn Auntie has selected for sock wars. Being the renegade, Auntie admits that the yarn is plymouth Galway, hand dyed* by Auntie. It *is* slightly heavier than DK, but Auntie (loose woman that she is) is getting gauge with US 3's. IF she were forced to use true DK, we would probably be talking about US 2's. Also, should Auntie be killed, Auntie plans to send ALL 400 yards of this delicious yarn to her killer along with the socks. Should Auntie do the killing (ha ha ha), Auntie may gift any leftover yarn to her victim to make a matching accessory with.

Auntie also just signed up for Sock Wars. Is it cheating if she uses the same socks for Sock Wars, Socktoberfest pictures, and Romancing the Yarn's Sock-a-long? Auntie loves multi-tasking.

*This is Auntie's first time playing with space dying methods and she can't wait to see how it knits up. More pictures of Blue Lagoon on Flickr.

I can't wait to see how this war works. I wanted to join, but I knew I would be a maniac and end up with carpal tunnel because of my intense competitive nature.
