Trying Some Dyeing

I've been seeing this Kool-aid dyeing online for awhile now and decided to give it a try! I used Lemon-Lime Kool-Aid and Knit Picks "Bare" yarn. Here it is stewing in the pot...


And here it is hanging up to dry...

There are a couple of spots that didn't take up the color, I assume that I can do it over so that there is even color. If I'm wrong somebody let me know. I think the color is fun and I'll probably be doing more of it!!

It says not to with the kool aid. I did re-do it and it turned out fine, I just need to use more packets of kool aid from now on. Live and learn!

I love the green! My husband saw me reading this post and although he hasn't been all that interested in my knitting, he's suddenly very interested in conducting dyeing experiments.
I hope you don't mind me tagging you for the 8 random things post. Post 8 random things about you and then tag 8 more bloggers. I look forward to seeing your list.
