My local yarn pushers, Purlescence Yarns, had Claudia of Claudia Handpainted Yarns custom-dye yarn to match the San Jose Sharks team colors. They borrowed a jersey from a fellow Sharks-obsessed knitter, ran off to the nearest paint store, matched the colors with paint chips, and then sent the paint chips off to Claudia for her to work her magic.
Right before Stitches West, they got lots of Sharks yarn in, and I had to snag four skeins for socks for Bill and I to wear during the playoff run. I just finished both sets of socks, and here they are.
