I've been crafting - really!

Yep, I really have been busy, just haven't blogged about it! Made one pair of socks for a dear teacher for the end of the year, and even hand dyed our own yarn with Koolaid. This was fun, and we are planning to order more yarn to make more colors. It's a hard decision, with the big stash I already have!
Diamante socks are finally finished!
Zigzag socks knit for a First Grade Teacher
Hand dyeing yarn with Koolaid
Sitting in the dye after heating in microwave
A few times in the microwave and the dye is completely soaked in to the socks.
Liked the green and orange, but it needed purple in the middle. I added that later.
The finished product! We decided to call the color "Mystery Machine."

Wow, I thought you were joking with the kool-aid. You've taken crafty to a whole new level! I wonder if I sprinkled kool-aid on a paper plate and you were allowed to lick it if you could guess the flavor? What if I mashed it into our midnight delight--I bet we would have won the contest then! It's just me. I'd love to see you around. I'm croppin Saturday (freebe daytime tmi) and the 18th midnight madness. I'm glad I found you on Ravelry! You have some amazing pieces!
Happy 4th of July!
