This pattern was fun and very quick to knit -- I had them done in no time.
I had never done a peasant heel, however, and was hesitant about putting in
the contrasting color line there. Yes I did dye them and they were my first
ever dyeing project! It took me quite a while to collect the Kool Aid as aI
was living in Manhattan when I made them and Kool Aid is not readily
available there! I used Slammin Strawberry Kiwi for the Strawberry Pink and
Grape, which I overdyed in the same dyebath with Ice Blue Rasberry Lemonade
because the Grape was too drab. I used this chart to select my colors
www.thepiper.com/fiberart/koolaid/colorchart.html
It was so easy and so much fun, that I at the next fiber event I attended, I
bought Some Country Classic Dyes and dyed another skein in a
Rasberry/Blueberry combo. It came out wonderfully and I can't wait to knit
it up! You got me hooked LOL!
Thanks so much for putting my photo's up, I have been having a lot of fun
showing them (and your site and calendar) around and of course, my
granddaughter loves the socks. She has asked me for another pair in yellow!
Cheers, Claudia
