Comments on: I promised you eye candy… http://abbysyarns.com/2007/06/i-promised-you-eye-candy Because one way or another, it's all about yarn.

I take after my Irish grandfather. No matter what time I get up I do not want anyone talking to me (in person, out of person, radio/tv or even within person (me)). Let me sit/drive in silence at least until I've had the first pot of coffee. (Me thinks I see a new blog post in my future) Even at that point I do not do any sort of radio. Too much talking any time of day for me. And good lighting or not your stuff is striking as always. On the topic of morning hullabaloos. I take after my Irish grandfather.

I dyed, spun and knit a pondscum scarf for someone just this last winter. They asked me what color it was. I replied, "It's pondscum." I have to thank you again for your articles on "overplying' and "shocking washing techniques". My yarns are so much better for it. I used to be afraid of putting in too much plying twist. And my yarns looked it. Now they are coming out the way I want them to. Thanks again. Jim I didn’t mention it, but I love pond scum.

Every time I see your colours I want some! I am so partial to reds, oranges and pinks right now but the other colours are so tempting. I keep saving my pennies so i can just order up big and pay the international postage once. glad it rained. It is hard to watch everything turning brown. I hope your lilac revives. Plants can surprise you. The pagoda shawl, we'd love to see it but only when you feel it isn't looking like a blob. Sooooooooo beautiful. Every time I see your colours I want some!

Is there any chance of a pond scum wool at some point? Tweedlike, perhaps? Good luck to your lilac!

The one on the north side of the house is fine, but the one out in the south side of the house has never thrived :( Peonies (pronouced pinees down there) also have been problematic for me. I think though I've been planting them too deep! We'll see how the blueberries do...wish me luck! I’ve had varied luck with lilacs.
