We took a pile of yarn

and added a large amount of Kool-Aid

and ended up with this:

Mom’s is pink lemonade, Great Gran’s is grape and mine is lemonade with three packets of orange thrown in for good luck.

Pretty neat, huh? Especially for folks with No Idea what they were doing. I have no pictures of the actual dyeing process because, as many of you already know, my Mother and Grandmother do not show up on film. But we did have a great time and at the end we were happy with our results. I am also having fun with the Flower Basket Shawl, the Kool-Aid Yarn’s Destiny. It’s complex but not painful and really pretty. As you can see from the picture: Mom is winning, but Great Gran and I am catching up.

The second sock is finished! I made it to the toe last night during my cousin’s ballet recital (Cinderella – she was a step-sister) so that the second sock (who was suffering from Second Sock Syndrome) could get a little culture.

And now I have a confession to make. I have discovered Second Life. Whatever you do, don’t try it. It will cut into your Regularly Scheduled Knitting Time and make you Stay Up Late. Kind of like sock yarn. I miss sock yarn.
