Radioactive zombie apocalypse yarn! Spun and plied on Big Meg, 1.5 oz of spindly awesomeness. She's a bit light for a plying spindle, but once you get some yarn on her, she spins and spins and spins like a dream.
This is the hank, freshly soaked in Eucalan and dried, much to the amusement of my cats, who tried to slay the neon sheep.
And a closer look. It was surprisingly difficult to keep the singles from becoming all even and smooth -- art yarn is not easy to make. Did I mention it glows in the dark?
Now, if I could only find a brain-shaped button, I'd have everything I need to make the ultimate hat for the radioactive zombie apocalypse...
In somewhat more... tame crafting news: the March mystery sock for SKA. Homework and twisted stitches have kept me from progressing too far -- this is 2/3 into clue 1. I love twisted stitches, but they hurt my hands.
The yarn is a beautiful cherry red, or blood red, depending on your preference and point of view. I love these socks, but knitting them is going to take a good long time. I can only do a few rows a day, then I need a break.

I hope you find a brain-shaped button. Maybe these? http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36472119
Fimo/Sculpey clay and you could totally make your own brain button.
Love that yarn! Go MSU! (Sorry, I know that's where Merlin's from and I have $ riding on the Green & White!)
Can't wait to see the zombie hat. Nice job on the art yarn.
Oh crap! I better get my zombie headgear on the needles quick!
But wait - would you want your hat to glow in the dark if you were running away from zombies?
I agree with Thea, if you can, get a pic of it glowing in the dark!
Dude, that is some kick-butt zombie yarn! I love it. The hat is going to be awesome.
I adore your zombie yarn - perfect. Could make a brain button out of fimo?
I love glow in the dark!!
