This past Sunday morning, there was an e-mail from Scout waiting for me. While not exactly awake yet, I opened it because it was from Scout. She wanted to know what my dream yarn colorway was and told me not to ask any questions. It's Scout. I know better than to question.
I told her about a colorway that I had been wishing for and secretly thinking I may have to dye my own self (at some point in the future) to ever get. We e-mailed back and forth before she wandered off to play with her dye pots.
This arrived yesterday...

The photo is pretty close. Scout will take better photos after she's dyed more of this colorway.
It turns out that my Bev asked Scout to dye some yarn for me as a thank you for the socks I'd knit for her. She is such a thoughtful sweetheart. The yarn itself is superwash and I'm not sure if I want socks or a scarf. Not sure how the yellow would look against my skin.
Must ponder.
Right now, I am basking in the happy.
Weird, huh? :p
Thank you so much, ladies! ♥
Very pretty! And very pink! (look at the self control... I'll let you put them together in your own mind)

I need to start being crankier. Then maybe people will do stuff for me! Reverse psychology! It's very pretty yarn, you lucky duck.
QUACK!

I am so glad that this was the package you were waiting for. Mine to you left today after a curious detour to Boy Scout camp with the Mr. and boys. Somehow I don't think you mind that your goodies hung out with men and bears in the woods.
That yarn is beautiful, you must've been dreaming on the right side of the bed.

pretty in pink. Awesome! :)

I should think that a scarf that bright and cheerful would be perfect despite the skin tones. But you can always check by putting the skein up next to your face. :)
I do love the colors though. They're gorgeous! You may be converting me to the land of pink after all.

I'm not normally fond of pink but you could convert me with that yarn.

If you have a problem with yellow against your skin, that right there is the way to do it. There is very LITTLE yellow there -- just enough to make it look sunny, but not enough to make a difference against your skin. At least in MY not-so-humble opinion. :)
