Dye-A-Thon

I am embracing what little is left of my all-too-short winter break with some intense crafting sessions! Last weekend I took full advantage of the fact that I had the house to myself all Saturday while Nate was at work, and I dyed about 2.5 lbs of merino and about 1 lb of bulky recycled wool/angora blend yarn.
This is the merino roving, I dyed 11 different sections, each about 3-4 oz each. This is the recycled yarn that I dyed. It is about 600 yards of bulky weight yarn, and I'm hoping to use it for a sweater. It is 70% Merino/20% Angora/10% Nylon. Right now I'm in the pattern hunting phase :)
So after about 4 hours of dyeing, I was in dire need for some liquid refreshment. Nate got home, and we decided to crack out the ol' drink mixing book. A few minutes later we were enjoying some wonderful chocolate coffee martinis!Note the expression of pure joy on his face. Priceless!
For all of you who would like to make these for yourselves, here you go:
