Everests, smoking kitchens

.

Everest Three

 

 

Everest Four, hot off the needles this morning...

 

My KoolAid dyeing attempt

 

 I dyed wool with KoolAid in the early 90s....and set my kitchen on fire (okay, it went "WHOOSH" then extinguished itself).  Long story that still makes me shiver. So I bypass it. :)

Suffice it to say, this time I was more careful.  The KoolAid is safe; but last time I used nailpolish remover to clean the counter----while water was boiling....ahem......

Hanging my dyed mini hanks

 

One sock done.....the other will be started tonight.

 

 

I must put in a disclaimer here:  It takes me upward of two weeks to get one pair knitted.  The small work, needles, and yarn really do a number on the arthritis in my thumbs.  I have combined my pics here to try to keep my posts from being boring....I'd hate it to look as though I am cranking out socks each day!
