Ginny of FatCatKnits fame, has a new thing going....a colorway of the month SAL of sorts. The color for March is "SweetTortie". I had purchased a braid of it in January, and really didn't give the name much thought. Little did I know, but the color of tortoiseshell cats was the inspiration for this particular colorway. Many folks posted photos of their Tortie cats....gorgeous creatures! Then it was pointed out to me that Sofee has the same colors in her coat, so......
Not to be outdone by a bunch of felines, always up for a photo-opp.......
This weekend I spun up the first half of the braid - 2oz produced 306 yards of a light wt fingering weight yarn.
Spinning has given me an entirely new appreciation of yarn - the colors - the structure - the movement of the individual fibers themselves.
Plus it's just so darn much fun to do!!!

Your Sofee is definitely Tortie material. LOL So is the yarn. Quite accidentally there's a photo of our tortie (cat) in my last post; the sun on her coat could be the yellow in your yarn! My DH says Ginger has a bad dye job....
Sweet photos, both of Sophie and your yarn.
Gorgeous spinning! And Sofee is sitting so pretty to pose for the pictures! :)
OMG!! Kathy, this is beautiful. Sofee is adorable as ever, but the spun yarn is stunning.
Awww - Sofie is such a star! Your spinning is getting down right incredible. I really do need to get back to my wheel - life has been so busy lately. Soon.
Sofee does match very well. Your spinning is perfect and I am amazed at your yardage from only 2 ounces. I need to know how you do it since spinning fingering wt has always been a problem for me.
Your Sofee yarn is lovely, not as lovely as the real Sofee though.
Ha ha! That is such a cute picture of Sofee. I love the color of that yarn!
You have an amazing talent and I really love this color.
