The pattern was easy to follow and I learned some new starting and finishing techniques! I used yarn from ELANN - the Summer Sonata Collection which has been relisted for about $1.98 a skein. I really liked the yarn and feel that it was a great value.
DYING
I am still trying to figure out dying. I bought some GAYWOOL Dye yesterday but am feeling a bit intimidated. My current project is trying to get some variations on NAVY BLUE for a soaker project. Why is it so difficult to get the right color? I keep mixing up concoctions, but can't seem to get the right combo.
I also purchased the book COLOR WORKS: The Crafter's Guide to Color. It is published by INTERWEAVE PRESS - my personal favorite. I started reading it last night, and found much of the color theory fascinating. I have never taken art classes - so this is all new to me.
Here is my current dying project (using kool aid and wilton dye)
Back to the Dye Pot!
