My dye-o-rama pal wasn't very specific with her color requests, but I wanted to seem more advanced than a kool aid dyer, although the kool aid was really easy to work with! I had some icing dyes from my Williams Sonoma Cookie Decorating Kit I bought last Christmas (or 2 years ago...actually, maybe three!) It came with blue, yellow, red and green. I mixed the blue and green together, the yellow and green together and used straight blue and straight green and hand painted (with a squirt bottle) each quadrant. Here it is on the swift:
And here it is all skeined up:
And a macro:
Oh, and a Buster...lounging in the window...
I hope my pal likes it! It's off to her this weekend, once I get all the acoutrements!
I hope to have some knitting time this weekend...I haven't picked up the needles in a long time now!!
Oooh, pretty yarn!
