Drinking from a firehose

I didn't know about using two skeins of the same color to counteract color variations or to break up pooling. Awesome tip, thanks!

Icon love too. Both of the otters at the zoo on Sunday were curled up into balls, although tight ones like cats usually do, not donuts like yours. Normally they're swimming or checking the zookeeper's access hatch (probably to see if it's dinner time). I didn't get good photos of either one -- one was inside a hollow log which was cute but too dark to photograph well, and the other one was curled up next to the window and too tightly curled to get a good look at his face. I ended up with a photo of a round otter fur pillow on top of a bed of cobblestones.
