Scarf Some Beer

Today, my daughter, Denise, and my grandchildren, Oren & Claudia came out to the farm so we could exchange Christmas gifts.  From us, the kids received roller skates and spent the afternoon practicing how not to fall on their patooties in our living room since the floor is still painted subfloor (we are in the process of tiling the entire house).

While we all visited and the kids skated, I knitted.  I had finished washing, carding, and spinning some fleece to make some yarn for a scarf for Claudia.  I dyed it a couple of days ago so it would be dry.  I wanted her approval on the shade of pink, which she enthusiastically gave me.  I used Kool-aid to dye it using the directions from dyeyouryarn.com.  Even though it is a pretty color, I wasn't completely happy with the shade.  It turned out more of an orangey-pink than I thought it would but she liked it and that is what counts.  Since I was using size 15 needles, I was able to complete the scarf this afternoon.

We all had a great afternoon...but, the NOISE really gets to me.  Too bad I didn't have some of the Welsh Lamb flavored beer I recently read about to soothe me. Conwy Brewery in Llysfaen, Wales, has produced a few bottles of specialty beer made with the juice from Welsh Lamb meat.  Gwynne Thomas, of the brewery has named the beer The Sunday Toast.

Seriously, though, I don't think I could manage a swallow!  Could you?
