Jun. 3rd, 2008 08:38 pmI pimped A Tangled Skein at
wordplay today, and was successful. And while I was there, I swapped the broken-loop bag for a whole one, and picked up the needles I was after ... and bought four skeins of sock yarn hush up now.
What's actually funny is that the lady was showing us sock yarn custom-dyed by someone local with names of DC neighborhoods. Nice stuff. And this conversation happened:

What's actually funny is that the lady was showing us sock yarn custom-dyed by someone local with names of DC neighborhoods. Nice stuff. And this conversation happened:
her: That pink one is Dupont Circle.The yarn I bought was Happy Feet, two skeins in bright firey red and two in a crushed-berry sort of purply red. I also have two skeins a friend sent me in a bluer purple. I am well covered for purples and reds. [nod] Need to find a sock pattern having something to do with flames for the first, brightest red. [nod]
me: Of course it is.
her: Right, so you get it.
me: And this one -- [reaching for a skein in a sort of bricky color scheme, orange and brown with some shots of cream] -- would be Capitol Hill. [looks at label] Oh my god, it's Capitol Hill. Dude! How did I do that?!
