Dye Day!

So yesterday I went over Pam's house to dye some yarn. We had so much fun! We each dyed 1 skein. Pam's was a lovely blue and green.. Mine reminds me of popsicles.. summer fun!

We also went to lunch at Olive Garden which is always fun! Then stopped by JoAnn's for buttons for her Hey Teach sweater. This is going to be a Cleveland Knits West KAL, Pam is our "test Knitter."(you can see her sweater in the corner of the picture up a bouve! Right Pam? Anywhoo we found the perfect buttons for it!

Then I got home and still had the dye bug. I stopped by Wal-Mart and picked up some squirt bottles and dyed up 2 skeins in a pinky reddish purple color this will be for either the Whisper Cardigan or the Featherweight Cardigan both by Hanna Fettig. So I was still thinking about Pam's pretty yarn, and was thinking about the sock blank from Knit Picks I had...and so then I mixed up some blues and greens and squirted away! And um yeah I forgot to put on a glove and so my left fingers are very green! LOL 

 

Here's all my yarn from yesterday..Lovely I think!!!

I did just get some acid dyes but today I stuck with the Kool-Aid. Next time I'll break the acids out. I think I want to get a couple more colors of acid dyes-a green, a burgundy,brown, and teal before I use them.

And last but not least..please take a second and VOTE FOR MY SCHOOL in the Lots2Give Contest! Thanks!

Great Pix! Haha! But, seriously, I love what you did at home! Yay! What flavors did you use for your blue and green? Lime and Blue Raspberry? It's lovely! And your sweater will be great! I bet that pinky/purple would look great with some Indigo Ripples beneath it!

You and Pam look like you had a blast. I love how your yarn turned out. Was it all cool aid or did you finally break out the acid dyes?
