It's almost here.
You will like it. It's pretty darn nifty.
And you will be surprised.
And that's all I have to say about that. The end.
Just kidding.
Let's have a naming contest, shall we? You suggest possible colorway names. If I use one of yours, I'll send you a free skein of that colorway. When you make a suggestion below, please be sure to enter your email address so I can contact you if you win. (Your email address will not be visible to anyone but me.)
Have at 'em!
