Dying
Rinse, rinse, repeat.

The wool sock yarn from yesterday's dying experiment looks nothing like what I thought it would. But it turned out lovely, so I'm really going to enjoy knitting socks with it.

Today I hung out with the talented woman who makes this gorgeous hand-dyed yarn. You'll get to read all about her in one of my upcoming craft columns, but I couldn't wait to show you this picture of one of the skeins she made and tell you how incredibly fun it is to dye yarn.
I brought some natural cotton along to attempt this beautiful craft. I also dyed a skein of wool sock yarn, but I have to wait until tomorrow to rinse it all out and get my first look at the results. I'll take pictures so check back to see the results. The only mistake I made was the part when I grabbed the skein I was working on with an ungloved hand. I had to go to a meeting afterward with a fuchsia palm. It looked pretty ridiculous, but will be totally worth it if this yarn rocks.
