Ah, April is finally here and it is sock-yarn dyein’ time! My friend Meredith (pictured here – tragically blogless!) and I got together last Sunday afternoon to dye some yarn for our Project Spectrum sock yarn swap pals. We used a combination of Easter Egg dye (yellow) and Drink-Aid (orange). It is now dried and still smelling quite fruity! Now we just have to hunt down a ball-winder (our LYS has its winder out of commission during the annual Spring clearance sale).

What’s that? Did I mention a sale? I know you’re wondering what I got. Cause you KNOW I can’t pass up a yarn sale.
Truth be told, I was quite restrained this time around. All that stash-flashing really made me think…. she who dies with the most yarn wins? I only have only Rubbermaid container-full, but I should really work on some projects I already have ready before I buy MORE MORE MORE. (Unfortunately, I have champagne tastes when it comes to yarn.) I almost bought some 50% silk/50% wool that was 45% off, but to make a sleeveless shell it still would have cost $50… and I just can’t justify that. So, what did I get? Just one book and some Regia self-striping sock yarn (one pair’s worth).
I think there is a sweater in here that I can make for my husband. (The one on the front). Hopefully I won’t screw it up this time. =)
Your yarn looks great!
Wow! Such restraint at the yarn sale! Your friend Meridith is dressed for the occassion [orange top].
Pretty yarn!
