Allyson Dykhuizen is the driving force behind Holla Knits where she offers fun knitting designs in a range of sizes.
My first contact with Allyson was through Twitter. She put out a call to indie dyers in search of yarn support for one of her designs. I responded, and we were able to match one of my yarns to her design specs.
In a While, Crocodile.
This design was knit with Dirty Water DyeWorks Lucia, colorway Beryl. Lucia is a blend of 75% Superwash Merino and 25% Nylon. It's a wonderful all-purpose yarn and is good for everything from socks to shawls.
To celebrate Holla Knits and the Blog Tour Dirty Water DyeWorks is offering a special.

This has been one of those weeks where I've needed some fun color to brighten my days. A match and an orange peel did the trick - my color inspiration for the week.
A piece of the sun.
