Does this count for earth mother's Dye Job Along? It's not yarn, it's green daisies and red beargrass, and it's not really dye, it's food coloring.
I loved the pattern I'm using for my Sockapal-2-za sock so much that I just had to try it in a different yarn. I tried IK Winter 2004's Retro Rib socks with this yarn, but ripped it because the pattern didn't show up very well. This is turning out much better, and it's a lot easier to photograph than the dark red Mountain Colors sock. This is Trekking #283.
After taking the pictures at the top, I brought the flowers inside
and placed them on the windowsill behind our couch. Later in the evening, the boys were doing headstands on the couch, and I was just reaching to move the vases out of the way when R bumped one with his feet and over they went. Green and red dyed water went all over the couch and the floor. Luckily, the couch is green leather and wiped clean. A while later, I picked up this sock to work on it and realized that it was wet and covered in splotches of green. The spots were pretty obvious, but when it dryed they all but disappeared! No yarn dyed here today, intentional or not.
Added minutes later: Oops, I guess you CAN see the green splotches on the foot. I wonder if it will come out when I wash them.
