Heh, I seem to have all kinds of misconceptions about What I Can and Can't Do. ;P *Sticks Overdyeing on her After Xmas To-Do List along with Learning to Spin* Harena/Sandy I was talking to a friend the other day who had just done some Kool Aid dyeing & I have to admit to having pondered trying that in the past… for that is one way for sures to get that bright green I love so much… but I never really thought about doing Real Dyeing.

Lisa -- Okay, let's tawk, whatcha thinking? The lace is from Knitting Lace by Susanna Lewis. The book is about an 1830's sampler in the Brooklyn Museum, now out of print. Catalina from the Whipstick Knitters kindly sent me a copy of the pattern for that particular section of the sampler. Sandy -- Overdyeing is a blast -- you should give it a try.

(Yes, I <i>do</i> like other colours besides green ;)) I tend to prefer purples that are more on the blue side than the red side, so that one does it for me. I have to say I'm impressed with how easy overdyeing comes to you... Such a thing would never have occurred to me, but then I'm a hooker not a dyer! ;) Harena/Sandy Ooooh, I really like that purple!

HAW! I want that teal. I want it. I want it. We should tawk. The lace swatch - very pretty, and curiously enough it looks like the same stitch pattern I'll be working soon over the cuff of the Nine Tailors sock - not exactly the same, but the pattern on which my planned angel-roof is based.

What fun with dyeing blue spaghetti. I like the teal and the blue; and the rest of the gray should provide impetus for dyeing experiments galore! That red is most interesting!
