The Olympics

If you have ever been to Lake Placid,  New York, you know that it was home to the Olympics not once but twice.  This year at the winter Olympics in Canada there are 12 athletes from the tri-lakes region competing.  Not only does this bring nostalgia for the games of 1932 and 1980 in Lake Placid but pride that the region is home to some many athletes now. 

How does this relate to hand dyeing yarn and fibers?  The picture in the opening for the blog  is part of my inspiration for living in the high peaks of the Adirondacks.  The colors always changing from bright to muted smokey colors are framed in spectacular views like the one you see here.

This one of my recent colorways that captures the mist of an early morning by the Olympic ski jump.  The color has movement as it is knit and combines nicely with other colors for both dramatic and subtle color changes.
