I can&#8217;t remember what the fiber content is, but I think it&#8217;s something like 50% Corriedale, 50% marshmallow fluff.  I&#8217;d like to try to dye the rest, although now that I&#8217;ve felt how nice it is, I&#8217;m kind of afraid to ruin it.  Nonetheless, I&#8217;ve been wanting to dye roving, and I think <lj user=scaredkat> would appreciate me enjoying having that adventure, even if it means I destroy her gift.  It was really a gift of the time and enjoyment of using the fiber, wasn&#8217;t it?  Lord, I hope so.  Maybe I should get some junk fiber to practice on first.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been cranking out Jayne hats like a fiend, and realized yesterday that I had time to make another hat for charity without making anybody else&#8217;s hat late.  So I&#8217;ll be knitting up one for Dallas today.  Tomorrow night there&#8217;ll be a Firefly shindig, so I can probably get more work done during that, since I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;ll mind me knittin&#8217; up the Jaynes.  That shindig is after I go see <lj user=illiane> lead her team to victory at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charlottedragonboat.com\/\">Charlotte Dragon Boat races<\/a>.  Go, <lj user=illiane>!
