I was completely inspired by a good knitting friend of mine over at www.elliphantom.com to try out dying yarn with kool-aid. She has been very successful with it and after much thought and angst, this weekend I decided to go for it. I even had my 6 year old son help me. I couldn't believe how incredibly easy and fun it was; despite the fact that I couldn't get my measurements right for self striping yarn in a 5 row pattern. Suffice it to say, I am completely happy with the result though. The yarn stripes itself every row. The Kool-aid colors I used (the only ones I had in my pantry) Cherry, Orange, Pink Lemonade and Black Cherry. Love, love, love it!!
