As you might have read in my last post, I've joined the Hogwarts Sock Swap. My swap partner is in Gryffindor, so I dyed up a skein of yarn (100% peruvian wool) in Gryffindor colors using Kool-Aid. Well... I'm not quite fond of dyeing with Kool-Aid. It takes a pretty damn sizeable amount to get it the right color (or so it seems to me. Perhaps I was doing it wrong). But in the end I created the yarn up in the corner. I can't wait to knit it up and see how it goes. Hopefully Mala's sock yarn will go much smoother since I won't be using Kool-Aid on hers. I'll be using real dyes.
