I was inspired by these Target placemats.
to make this:
From left to right - pumpkin orange, fuchsia I muted with silver gray, black cherry, turquoise, chartreuse, salmon. Self striping yarn. 440 yards! These will be socks for ME. I can’t wait to see how they look all striped up! I kind of like this dying thing. Can you tell?

WOW. Chicka, you are a natural at this dyeing stuff! GORGEOUS colors.
You have to make knee high’s out of those because the yarn is so fabulous!
FABULOUS!!! I love it I love it!
What kind of dye are you using?? its sooo vibrant!
husby said, “she has so much energy!” and “she is a true artist.” i agree! the colors are
dee-lish, esp the orange, lime, and black cherry. yum!
swag yarns????? you got the bug!
I don’t know what was up with him, but my husband saw this over my shoulder and thought it was amazing. Said something like, “Really, she died it herself, that’s really cool. I’m going to have to meet this chick the next time she is here.”
Wow, impressive. We must be on the same dyeing cycle. I made another batch yesterday, too. (We should dye on net cam!) Your colors are nice and deep, really rich! Looking forward to seeing the socks.
Whoo! It looks awesome! I hope you had big big fun! Can’t wait to see the socks, now! (I know, we’re just so demanding, aren’t we? You make a warping board, we want you to dye yarn, you dye yarn, now we want you to knit it up… there’s just no keeping us satisfied… grin!)
Holy Hannah, that looks awesome! I LOVE the colors. Those are going to be AWESOME socks!
What kind of sock yarn did you use, did I miss that?
That yarn you dyed is just fantastic. The colors are gorgeous! I can’t believe that is self-striping sock yarn. Those will be beautiful to see all knitted up. Keep it up you crafty girl you.
Isn’t Target fabulous! Jut yesterday i got my gardening bug on there, and got a couple snazzy house things too.
Beautiful colors!!!
You have been busy! I think they will look great!

That’s going to be awesome! I noticed those placemats in another picture and was thinking I loved the colors and the stripy-ness of it. I can’t wait to see that in sock form!

I love your self-striping yarn!! The colors are so bright and cheerful- those are going to be such fantastic socks! I’m so impressed with all your dyeing- I’m going to have to check out your tutorial. I’ve missed so much this past week! Thank you so much for the hugs and good wishes- it really meant a lot to me. Hope all is well with you.. take care, Scout!

Scary bright stripes!! I wanted to tell you: when I flashed my stash, I had this cool little dude I constructed of yarn that I wanted to name “Scout” because he was the guide to my stash but I didn’t want people to confuse him with you. Did you get to see my little dude?
Very cool, I want to see it knit up!
Absolutely love it — the yarn, the warping board. I blogged you over at whip up. Very cool!
Holy crap! Somehow I missed this post!
Those are SO PRETTY! I like Stephanie’s idea of making them into knee highs to show them off. Great inspiration!
