The day started off with taking the dogs to the veterinarian. Allie had managed to get something in her eye over the weekend and scratched it a bit. Fortunately I was able to get them there before it became roasty toasty outside.
I am "making yarn" for a shawl for a friend. She wanted something in red which of course is adding to the sense of warmth even with the a/c cranked on "just above really, really cold." Actually, after looking at my electric bill last year, I am using my 2 floor fans more this summer.
The yarns are a lot more red and less "pink" than this picture shows.
Now onto the knitting. I have about 5 or 6 red yarns that I am using for this shawl and will add more as I go along. The CO will be about 140 sts and I'm using size 13 circular needles so once I actually start knitting, it should go rather quickly.
When I talk about "making yarn" I mean that I am cutting various yarns into 12-14" pieces and then just knotting them together with an overhand knot as I did for the blue shawl.

I can't believe you are making another one! and boy has it been hot!
Hot weather! Hot Red/Pink yarn!
What a great shawl this yarn will make. I like the idea of combining yarns to make a yarn.
You're hot and I had to use my little heater in the basement yesterday-temp was 58! I know...don't rub it in!
I know, I can't believe it either. However, when someone says they would really love to have a crazy shawl like the blue one, it only makes sense to encourage them to wear unconventional stuff as well. :)
