What I did on my days off....
Besides waiting for maintenance to come and fix my bathroom last week for 2 days, I decided to dye some yarn and frog my two at a time toe up sox. I just wasn't happy with them. #1 they were too small (didn't increase enough before I started working them straight), #2 I was getting worried about doing the "afterthought heel". It sounds pretty confusing. So I took out my wonderful book by Cat Bordhi and decided to make the basic sock pattern. It began quite easily and ended the same way. I will take a picture of it once I finish the other sock. I have attached two pics that I took of it in-progress. Also, I dyed some yarn, as I said above. I hanked up 4 skeins of yarn. I dyed two of them in the Mango Kool-Aid and the other two was a two-toned red and green mixture. See all pictures below. (except the mango one
Enjoy!!!

Yummy! I love that mango color...
me too =) I'm lovin' the red and green hank, especially where the two colors mixed. It should make for some interesting sox.
I've got Cat's book and eventually will cast on something from it - I hope!
Looking good there.
