Kool Aid, Seaweed, and other trials
Today, I decided to try my hand at KoolAid dying. Rather literally, unfortunately. Considering that I have completed Rogue once, with an unfortunate error in measurement that caused the darn thing not to fit (my fault entirely), I recently got a batch of new yarn with which to re-do this beautiful. Check the pattern out at http://www.girlfromauntie.com/patterns/shop/rogue/detail.php if you haven't seen it yet. The designer is incredibly talented.
Anyway, I gave the smaller sweater to my college roommate, and bought some yarn from Knit Picks at http://www.knitpicks.com/Yarns/yarn_display.aspx?itemid=5420101 to use. Got the Wool of the Andes, in Natural White, and planned to dye my own. The yarn took up the Cherry KoolAid wonderfully. So did my hand. I look like I was on a hamster massacreing rampage ;)
I also just cast on for the Seaweed Stole from http://www.needlebeetle.com/lace/seaweed.htm. I've got four tendrils done.
