After knitting for a few hours yesterday my fingers were getting tired. I was home alone and thought I'd do messy things in the kithchen without hubby getting all flustered. He's the kind of guy who likes his kitchen tidy and with no yarn. (What kind of guy? Home-ec teacher kind of guy...)
So I thought I'd amuse myself with dyeing some yarn. I whipped my once 2.5 kilo cone of white superwash out of the stash and quickly wound 125 (?) grams onto my swift, tied it off and put it in luke warm water for an hour. Then I mixed Kool-aid and luke warm water in a pot and put the yarn in, gave it a little prod and then noticed the water was clear already. I've never had this happen before. The yarn sucked up the kool-aid before it was even on the stove.
I guess it's thirsty yarn... It's lovely too. I hope it goes with february socktopia in some way.
I'm nearly done with a lovely pair of alpaca/wool-poly socks (see post below). More on that this weekend.

Of course there's yarn in your kitchen! Everybody has yarn in the kitchen, right? If it's not on the stove, it's in the freezer.
Lovely sockyarn! I can't believe you're almost done with my supersecret socks... I LOVE surprises, so I'm practically wiggling in my seat here! I just finished my Socktopia January socks, so I'm psyched to get started on yours!!!
I made sock yarn that color too! Great minds...
