I have to admit, not much has been done on scrap quilt #2. I'm a little burnt out on quilts, so I've moved on to something new. Last night I tried my hand at dying yarn. It was so much fun! Of course, most of the fun was the company. I was able to meet and hang out with two local knitters I found through Ravelry. How cool is that? They suggested we try our hand at dying on our first meeting. I didn't have a clue, but it seemed interesting. We all tried a different method - Shannon used jacquard dyes on a sock blank in a super cool tiger stripe design, Lynn used Kool Aid that she mixed up and layered on, and I used Kool Aid that I just threw in the bowl and nuked in the microwave. Oh yeah, there were also cosmos. So much fun (too bad I forgot my camera)!!
So, not only did I end up with some cool new yarn, I also made two pretty cool new friends. I can't wait to get together again - we all have our fingers crossed that we still have houses next week.
