I was unsupervised...



...I had a real good time. I dyed some yarn. Some of it didn't turn out like I had hoped. I was trying to copy a colorway I did, "Soggy Granola" (on the left.) I think the fact that Soggy Granola was a happy accident in the first place should have been a clue. But whatever. Someone asked if I could dye them a skein, so I gave it a shot. My 2nd take on S. G. didn't turn out the same. Shocking, since I have so much dyeing experience. (HA HA HA!) At first I thought it looked like doo-doo, but now that it's been reskeined, it's actually really growing on me, and I think it's pretty dang cute. Here is is on 3-ply purewool:
I also tried something new, to me anyway. That's also drying at the moment. The jury is still out. I seem to be losing a lot of color down the drain. Must review how to dye yarn...

And for anybody who's keeping track, there's only like 824 people in front of me for Ravelry! Whoot!
