Nerd Wars T4R1 Intellectual Challenge

For this challenge we needed to craft something using a mnemonic tool.  It was a fun challenge with the hardest part decided which memory tool to use.  It's been a lot of fun looking at what other people have been submitting.  I went with a weather tool.

This 2 ply 6.5oz 216 yrd 100% BFL (Blue Faced Leicester) yarn was created with inspiration from this mnemonic. I dyed the yarn to reflect the shades of the sky that can be found when a red sunset or sunrise appears.
Red sky at night: shepherd’s delight. Red sky in the morning: shepherd’s warning.
Being an Alpaca farmer, I thought this was a cool. This phrase is also known for being used with sailors but I don’t sail, so this farmer liked the phrase using a shepherd. It refers to weather. The origins are unclear but it appears it was used mostly in England since the weather there comes from the West. If we see red clouds in the evening they will be in the east and have already passed us by, giving a good chance of clear skies and fine weather ahead but red skies in the morning mean a storm or bad weather is ahead. Now, for a team tie in, Legolas, says in the Lord of the Rings, Two Towers , “A red sun rises, blood has been spilled this night. “ Again, red in the morning sky is not good.
This project also is my Team Unity. Team Precious has chosen Dragons of Middle Earth as our unity project. I picked Smaug, the most Awesome of Awesome Dragons who can be found in The Hobbit. As seen in following photo, I dyed my roving to reflect the colors of Smaug using reds, oranges, burgundy and hints of gold and yellow which are his scales, his flames and all of his treasures.
