Sounds like fun! And wha a great excuse to do a little shopping!!!l
Count me in.
Ok sign me up. But I’m not doing anything else with you I swear!
it was inevitable, wasn’t it? you’re so going to be selling out your yarns by summers end. the new IT-girl of the hand-painted-yarn-scene. we can say we knew you when…
sign me up, girlie. you’ve made it look so easy & fun. rockin!
NO!!! I honestly won’t sell yarn. I promise! I’m saying it here. NEVAH.
You know I’m in! I’m gonna add your rockin’ button right away!
Me Me Me!
Great idea! I’d love to get in on this.
THAT is a damn fine idea. Give me details when you’ve got them.
I’m in!!
Okely dokely!
I just know I would make a HUGE mess if I tried to dye yarn. It frightens me.
Little known fact: Cookie and I had the same hair color at Stitches. She did hers first, but I had no idea.
Oh, yeah, baby, I am SO in on this! Heck Yeah! Can we sign up MORE than once?
And, hey, why NOT sell some of your stuff? Are you gonna use it ALL???
Sounds like fun. I’d love to get in on the action.
awesome idea-sign me up!
I’m in, I think. As long as I don’t have to equal your mathematical precision.
Pls. count me in! Have been wanting to spin my own wool for socks - too much time - then decided to dye yarn for socks. This is the perfect place to actually get my butt in gear and go for it! Thanks.
I’d love to do that! I think I can manage it too. Count me in!
Oooh - I’m in! The hubbo and I have big plans to finally dye up that yarn that’s been marinating in the stash for almost a year this weekend! Whoopee!
Oh oh oh, I’m interested but I don’t know if I’m “good enough” to participate in a swap. Urghhh… can I sign up later?
If you are doing international swaps - I’m in Australia - and would love to have a go.
Great idea. I’m so in!
Oh dear, my dyeing attempts NEVER look anywhere near what yours do…
I’d love to participate. I’ll be on the look-out for details next week!
Sounds like fun!
Oh yeah I’m in!
O.k., so you so totally impressed me with the tutorial and your carpentry skills that I feel obliged. Actually, my first SP sent me some of the dye-your-own from KnitPicks and I have been waiting to drink the kool-aid, errrr use the kool-aid. So, I am in. It will take the place of my doing SP8
oohhh i’d be interested!
You tutorial lit a fire under me, I would love to design some yarn for a swap pal! Count me in.
okey doke!
I’m interested - but I’m a total newbie. Is that okay?
alright… i’m in!
W00t!! Count me in!! What a fabulous fun idea!
Squeeee!
Ok, ok, ok! I’ll give it a try.
I’ll play, but only if I can come over for a lesson before I, well, you know, leave.
Okay, this seems completely logical and it won’t result into a total addiction, right? Since it’s not for me or ANYTHING like that. I love the idea! Sign me up!
I would love to join. Sounds like great fun. Sign Me Up!
I would like to join too please! This sounds like a lot of fun.
I’m interested!
I’m interested… this sounds like lots of fun!
If Kool-Aid’s okay… how about Wilton icing dyes, food coloring or Easter egg dyes?
This sounds like fun. I’d love to join!
Please count me in. I’m about to embark on some serious dyeing in the next few weeks anyway.
Sign me up! [please]
I’m interested; man, you’re relentless with the yarn fun!
I’m probably interested…
What the hell, I need another addiction! Sign me up!
Ok what the heck - I’ve got some dyeing to do, so what’s one more project right?
I’d love to join in!
ooooh, I’m definitley interested, but I’ll definitely have to see if I’m gonna have enough time/money, being that i’m already participating in x number of “a-longs” @ the same time!
thougth I’d give ya a heads up that I might be participating…what a great idea!
.♥.
Hey, if newbies are okay, then I’m in! I’ve been looking for a good reason to try out some dying.
Oohhh, I’m in! I love dying yarn.
I wanna play!
Yes, please!
Sounds like fun! Can we use plant dyes?
Two more!–
Me (Peacock) and my roommate, Bethieee!
Hooray! Another dyeing newbie here would love to join!
i wanna give dyeing a try and i just happen to have some knitpicks dye your own sock yarn and some kool-aid to go with it!
Ok, I want to play!
Sounds interesting. I would like to join.
You sold me, I’ll give it a go! I’ll trade international, too!
oooh oooh oooh! Me me me! Will trade internationally (heck, there’s only Doni so far here in Oz from what I can see!)
I think I’d like to join in too. I need another excuse to dye.
I would love to join……PLEASE!!!!
Count me in! I love dyeing, I love sock yarn, I love swaps.
OMG, I totally want to join!!
Awesome idea! I wish I really knew how to dye, so I could play along. If solid, kool-aid dyeing is okay, maybe I could join?
And I really wish I had some good tips for organzing everything in a big knitalong, but really all that is in the hands of my tech guys. The tech guys use some sort of database from which they can send emails and that I can access. I know lots of folks use Excel, but I never got the hang of using it for something other than numbers. I did the first sockapaloooza all by hand and wouldn’t recommend that. ;0) Best of luck!
Oh . . .well . . . since you twisted my arm. Throw me into the pool too.
ohhh another newbie that would love to play if you have a catagory for those
who aren’t quite sure what they are doing
Count this Seattlite in! Sounds like it will be fun.
Okay, Nathania and I are in.
(Y’all are so BAD for my bank account! *g*)
Oh, I am SOOO in.
I’m in. I love to dye yarn, but I never know what to do with it. Now I can give it away for someone to use.
I signed up via Cookie’s knit anon post, but wanted to add myself in here, too. Newbie dyer here.
me too please
You can count me in! I’m itching to get dyeing again!
Since I am leaving on a trip on Tuesday, can you sign me up for round 1 as a total newbie who has no freaking clue what she is doing but has 3 hanks of wool ready to dye…
Total novice, but having been reading Dyeing to Knit, and this will kick my ass to start.
Count me in
haven’t done any kind of swap, sounds like fun! i’m in too!
I want to play!
Count me in. I was already planning on doing a ton of dyeing this summer, so it will be a good excuse to get going on it sooner! :0)
Oooo! Ooo! Pick me, pick me!
I’d love to. I have a whole mess of koolaid stashed for just such a purpose.
Whoo hoo!
May and June are perfect dyeing weather.
Would love to participate in this!
Count me in!
memememe! Sign me up! GREAT blog you’ve got here.. can’t wait to see pics of the projects!
I would love to join this swap… Will you be sending out reminder emails when the sign-ups are officially opened?
I am SO interested in joining the dye-o-rama swap! Keep us posted. Hopefully I catch sign ups (moving starting the 19th! … not sure when the connection will be up and running in the new house!)
Ooh, what fun! I just hosted a dyeing party today, and it’s so addicting to come up with new color combos. Count me in please!
I would love to do this. I have yarn waiting for me to dye it. This is great incentive.
I just need to know where to get the yarn to dye. But I am ALL in
I want to join you guys.
I am so in. Between Alison’s and Eunny’s recent adventures in dying striped sock yarn, I’ll be amazed if this isn’t the next Sockapaloza or Jaywalker explosion.
I will be getting my practice “on” tomorrow and see what magic I can make (that other knitters would want - hee!).
I love dyeing yarn! Please sign me up!
okay, you got me, i’m in.
I am having trouble with signing up. Would you please email me when you have a moment. I definately want in
I wanna play!

I would love to play. Sign me up!
Sign me up! I would love to participate.
Wee, still time to sign up. I’d love to swap. Count me in!
I want to play too!
Sounds like a plan and our Knitting Group has already planned a “To Dye for” party to celebrate May Day so this is perfect!!!
Oh, it sounds like fun–I wish I could play! But I can’t . . . not unless I could 100% guarantee my nervous mother that there would be no damage to her white sink . . . sigh . . . times when I wished I didn’t live with my parents . . .
I’m in! I love to dye yarn and any excuse is good!
Count me in as an international participant (France). Had to be really, I just bought loads of undyed Opal sock yarn with the idea of painting it. Hmm maybe this could also be my Project Spectrum project.
Sign me up!! I’d love to dye and swap some yarn!
If I am not too late sign me up please.
If I am not too late sign me up please

[...] That’s really all the news in the knitting world…I’ve been so busy otherwise. I’m excited though, because I’m going to sign up for Scout’s Dye-O-Rama! It’s a totally awesome idea, and should be a lot of fun. I should be able to get my dyeing act together by 6 weeks after May 1, since I’ll be all moved in to my new house and settled by then. [...]
