And then because of the way I wound it before dyeing.. I had some horrible tangles in the middle of it. That was my own fault. It should be easier next time because I know now what not to do!
If my sock pal should read this... I'm sorry it's not superwash! I had one skein of superwash... and it's only 200yards. I thought you'd much prefer 2 socks to 1. ^^;;; It's actually a bit darker than in this picture. For some reason, my camera doesn't seem to like reds. =/

Hi Padma,
I left a note on the comments of your entry on Hogwarts Sock Swap Two, but just wanted to touch base with you here too. Knit Picks has a great tutorial on using Kool-Aid for dyeing. You are done now, but I thought it might be useful in the future.

Thanks Lily. I knew KnitPicks had a tutorial on dyeing with Kool-aid and even tried to find it. After about 15 minutes of looking and not finding, I just kinda gave up and used the one from Knitty. Needless to say, I don't think I did it right. ^^;;;;
Good for you for even trying! I have not, as yet, tried to do the Kool-Aide dyeing thing! Looks good from THIS end and I can't wait to see it knit up for your Hogwarts Pal!
