Thanks for understanding. Color choices make no difference. I do show work in progress pics of the shawls I make from the yarn so follow along if you're interested.

Looks like the bottom wins! I wish I was physically capable of dyeing gradient yarn to sell, but alas, the knees don't allow me to stand for more than one dye blank every few weeks and that's only if I have enough pain medication.

Same. That appears to be a consensus.

Thanks. I'm partial to the turquoise to purple as well.

This is the Social Security Election. Senators who get elected this fall will decide the future of Social Security. REMINDER: Top Republicans are calling Social Security a “Ponzi scheme” and a “scam.”

I struggle to think of any leader in modern history who has carried the agony of an entire nation on his shoulders with such quiet dignity, such relentless resolve, and such unwavering commitment . Zelenskyy has endured brutality of an indicted war criminal as well as the betrayal of Trump.

Trying to decide which gradient color combo to dye up this week on my Merino and silk bare yarn. Top or bottom? Any preference?

Gradient sampler. Top = turquoise to teal blue. Bottom = purple to turquoise.

It's time the Democratic party does a little house-cleaning of its own. We are bone-tired of the lesser of two evils.

Great article. Justices are such a puzzle to choose as they hide their political leanings and need a deep dive to figure out who the are. Thanks!. This helped tremendously.

Every day our country sinks to a new low. Public executions are as disgusting as the people who authorize them. What is wrong with society that they will condone this? There are other more civilized ways to deal with his crimes than committing the same violent behavior ourselves.

I'm on chart 8 and starting the second cake of yarn. Puzzled at how this will block out, the rows are so long and I'm only halfway through. Too wide to show anything other than a blob of color.

I think I'm going to pull a trump and rename the Republican party, the Epstein party as they seem to never want to hold rapists and pedophiles responsible for their actions.
