Hazelnut Reflections: a little dip of Project Spectrum

Saturday, March 18, 2006

It's a rainy day. . .

What else is there to do?

Get four packets of Blasting Berry Cherry Kool-aid (on sale)and some cream-colored yarn. . .

Bring to a low simmer and let simmer until the water runs clear. . .

It even smells red in the kitchen.

(dyeing recipe from Melanie Falick Kids Knitting)

Missed you last weekend at ESM Hope your new job is fun.

Thanks for the heads-up about your blog. We definitely have suggestions.

Lydia--new job is fun. I only had to soak it in clear room temp water to rinse. It's not sticky at all (unsweetened Kool-Aid is what the recipe calls for).
