Dye


I'm finally updating about the kool-aid dyeing. It went fairly well. Here are the result from the first skein.


I dyed another one a week later, but I still have to take pictures. I used black cherry, pink lemonade, and tropical punch. I chose the hot pour method that was described in a Knitty article. It just seemed the easiest. Using a crock pot also reduced any potential messes.

Lace Gloves and Dye

I've been swatching for the Carpathia gloves from Knitty. My gauge is about an inch larger, so I'm going to make the gloves a size smaller than I originally planned. I'm using the same colors suggested in the pattern since I like that combination.


I'm going to try dyeing yarn today with Kool-Aid. I'll have to post pictures of the results.
