Gallery Update :)
November 12, 2013
After a painfully long drive up from SF to Portland yesterday, hubby and I arrived home to an extremely happy kitty. She followed us around all night, purring and demanding belly rubs, and meowed very loudly whenever one of us would leave the room. As I type, she is sitting next to me on hubby's computer chair, pretending to nap but really keeping one eye open to make sure I don't leave the house again.
While I'm being held hostage by kitty snuggles, I've updated the gallery post to include pictures of Blue!

Now that the last ball of KdR is safely in the hands of its new owner (be sure to feed and water it regularly and take it for nice long walks!), I've updated the official gallery post. I'll be putting KdR as well as the other colorways from Round 1 up for sale in a shop early next month.
I've also spent the last few days dividing and skeining Blue. I'm about halfway through the second kilo now, and haven't made the labels yet, but this colorway is just too pretty not to share.
Although the cocktail for this month is called "Blue," the actual finished color of the drink is mostly a strawberry pink, a result of the pale blue of the blueberry liqueur mixing with the natural orange of the OJ. Since strawberry is also a dominant flavor in the cocktail, I made a soft pink a dominant color in this yarn. I also spent a long time experimenting with this one, trying to mix just the right shade of blue to represent the blueberry element of the cocktail, and I think I finally got it. It's a navy blue with faint purple undertones, almost the exact same shade as a ripe blueberry. The transitions between the navy blue and pink fade to this really lovely lavender color that reminds me of summer sunsets - very fitting, considering that this cocktail basically tastes like summer in a glass. I kept the orange and lemon yellow elements rather small, with a smooth gradient between them, further reinforcing that sunset feel.
Without further adieu, here are some pics of the yarn!

Now that USPS is telling me all the shipments of White Russian have been successfully delivered - and sorry, lone person whose order took a week longer than everyone else's for no good reason - I've updated the gallery post with photos of the colorway.
Hubby and I are still down in SF, but I've placed orders for yarn and dye through December, so I'll be able to get right back to work when we return to Portland.
