Once again Tracy and I spent a part of the day dyeing yarn for her. Using the usual suspects, knitpicks paint your own fingering weight yarn and Smart & Final food color dyes.
You can see the ball of yarn on the left that we are trying to mimic. We couldn’t get the colors (mostly the blue & greens) to come out the same but we tried.
Here it is all wrapped up ready to cook.
Here it is rinsing, we cooked it longer this time (10 minutes) and it rinsed a lot quicker.
And to see the finished ball knit up you will have to go visitTracy’s blog to see pics!
And I got my trekking xxl in the mail yesterday! Yay! I cast on for the jaywalker socks last night when I lost interest in the sock of the month socks. I just haven’t memorized the pattern yet so I have to stop after every other round & read it. I wanted something more quick (plus it’s using new pretty pink yarn!).
I love Trekking!!!
