One day a couple weeks ago Smokey was taking a nap and I was doing crosswords on my iPad while keeping him company. As I figured out the three-letter word for a particular lyricist ("IRA"), my mind wandered to a yarny problem. What could I do with the remaining pink/orange/purple sock yarn now that I had used about half of it in fingerless gloves? The obvious answer, to me at least, was to overdye it. But with what color? Red? I had plenty of red yarns. Blue? Ditto purple yarn. Hmmm...
Well, if green and red make brown (and they do), I wonder if green and pink would make tan? (Hover over photos for additional comments.)
Lemon-lime Kool-Aid, here I come.
(And let us rejoice that my Kool-Aid stash included lemon-lime.)
Pre-dye soaking. Kool-Aid is dissolved.
Stopwatch shows 5:16. Dyebath not quite exhausted yet.
I took a photo of my kitchen counter as the iPhone lay there. As one does.
Dyebath exhausted. Dyed yarn in clear rinse.
