Hi Julie, this looks very cool. I recently tried my hand at kool-aid dyes after I googled the method and inadvertently landed on yet another of your knitty articles on the subject. You mentioned mordanting, so I'm assuming it's not food color... but it separated out into that beautiful tie-dye look. Can you tell us what kind of dye this is?
what a lot of purple awesomeness! I can't wait to see how it develops. I'm in love with Berry Picking, btw! If I lived closer, I'd sneak in and steal it.
Mine goes on like that when I'm drawing. Panic! This line wrong, that line wrong, no resemblance to the flower what.so.ever. Drawing goes much better after Left Brain quits all the grumbling and goes off to sleep.
I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles.
I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion.
Nothing but good times ahead.

hey, Julie's left brain, do as you're told!
That looks fantastic - and like A LOT of yarn. Good job.
That there is a lot of yarn! Nice. Looks lovely - It's going to be very awesome all spun up - how exciting!
Wow that looks really different from what I thought might happen, it's conversion to yarn will be very interesting
fOur left brains get WAY too overdeveloped anyway... let your right brain roam free...

Lovely purple!
Am interested in seeing how that spins up.
Good old left brain.
