Pooling Monkey

So I was making a Monkey out of Yarn Love's Scarlett O'Hara in the Autumn Festival colorway. But the first attempt (pictured here) pooled like crazy. So it was ripped out.

Tried again, but needed to frog again.

I'm not sure if it going to work out. At least I have a back up gift for Mother's day.

Oh and here is a picture of the redyed yarn.

Redyeing Yarn

Well I finally redyed some yarn that I initially dyed last summer. It looks better, less white spots. I don't think I'll dye it again. I redyed both skeins. For both this time around I used eight packages of pink lemonade unsweetened Kool-Aid.

I'm still trying to decide what to make out of it. Maybe I'll dye a third skein and make a clapotis for my mother or sister. That might be a flattering pattern for the yarn.
