Busy, busy, busy and now it's October!
So I started off with good intentions when I began this blog and here I am three months later clearly residing in the slacker department. Slacking with good reason though.

This month Hansen Hand Dyes (aka Me) is sponsoring the monthly KaL in the Solid Socks group on Ravelry. Every month Solid Socks has a specific color or theme in which socks must be knit to qualify for prizes. I was able to choose which color I wanted to sponsor and I decided to do blue. I've never been a blue person so I wanted to challenge myself in my dyeing. It has been a great learning experience for me and I am coming away with a new appreciation for the color. I'm particularly fond of darker blues with green overtones.
Thanks to the Solid Socks group I've been busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger. Their support has been overwhelming and I'm very thankful for that.

In addition to dyeing up a storm for Solid Socks I participated in my first ever craft show as a vendor. It was a fall festival with kids activities, food, hayrack rides, etc. Honestly I wasn't expecting much so I knit up some pair of fingerless mitts and put out some hand knit socks I hadn't gifted or worn to feel out the water. Well, the water won't handle $50 socks but I did sell four pairs of fingerless mitts and one skein of yarn. I know that this wasn't the best place to showcase my wares but I've got a little experience under my belt which was well worth the price of admission.
And since my last post we have adopted a new cat. I couldn't not have a furball around the house. This is Mellie. We got her from the Humane Society where she had been adopted out twice and returned twice; a very sad situation for a seven year old cat who lost her original human. We're pleased to have her be a part of our family.
