Yep. You guessed it. I had dropped a stitch (on the edge). THIS far back:
At least this thing goes so fast it won't take that long to knit it back again.
On another note, I tried Kool-Aid dyeing for the first time yesterday on some Knit Picks Dye Your Own. I had this clever idea of using only a couple of colors of Kool-Aid, but I quickly ran out and had to use other colors (including some soap dye) too. Result? It looks pretty much like the everyone's first Kool-Aid dye.

Might be okay for kid's socks. It was fun to make, but I'm not going to be the next Sundara ;-)

Hee! Oh well, it's fun anyway, right? I think it looks pretty good, especially in the yarn cake. Practice makes perfect!
Heh.. It happens. I actually kind of like the color.
My first kool aid dying was done on roving and I just made solid blocks that I eventually spun together. Still not sure I'm in love with it. haha.
I think it's gorgeous and you're a far more creative woman than I'll ever be.
The yarn looks fun and sorry about the frogging.
I think your dying went well! I have graduated to Jacquard Acid Dyes and I'm quite pleased with the results.
I like the way you rip back. I have never hard/read of the technique you used (using circular needles) and I will be sure to remember it.
Right now, I am knitting a pair of socks. I don't like the method I'm using for the heel, the wrap the the last stitch when decreasing and knitting the wrap and the stitch as one when increasing. Is there a better way? I of course know the regular heel and short row decrease, but when one is using self striping yarn, that method isn't so good.
Your site is great!
I'm commenting again because I just realized that the color of the yarn for Sienna is the same color as Leland's coat! No wonder I think it's beautiful. =)
Ouch! I'm so sorry that you had to rip back Sienna, especially as it seems like quite a lot. Gosh, this happens to me all the time that I drop a stitch here or there, it's such a pain, isn't it?
Your dyeing turned out really well, I totally love the colors you've been using - really, I'd actually wear socks made with them - the more colorful, the better! :)
