Shannon's Wedding Yarn

What do you use as a bow on a wedding present for a person who, on her wedding website, describes herself first and foremost as a knitter?  Hand-dyed sock yarn in her wedding colors of course!  Greens and browns.  The boys and I drove up into the woods the other day to collect some evergreen boughs for them to decorate with, too.  I've been planning this for awhile but of course I waited until the very last night before the wedding to start dyeing this yarn with some of the leftovers from my Dye-o-rama Swap dyes:  Pro Chemical Washfast Acid Dyes in Evergreen, Moss, Golden Pear, and Mocha Chino on Elann Sock-It-To-Me Essential 4 ply, 75% Superwash Wool/25% Polyamide.   Luckily it's hot enough now for it to have dried overnight!

Shannon, I guess you've found someone to Heart even more than yarn. I wish you and S all the best together!  We are so lucky to have you two and your family in our lives!  We've had a great time this week finally meeting some of your friends, your brother, and the rest of your extended families.  Thank you for including us in all the fun.

Beautiful dye job! What a great idea for a bow! If that's the decoration, who needs the gift?

Oh that yarn is just superb.

I love that you did it the night before. Today is the final day of our winter school holidays and I had to sew 8 chair bags and 8 crayon bags for Son #3's class, for tomorrow. When did I sew them? Tonight of course!
