Oh wait...Or should it be Strickerbesucherin? Ack! There's a reason I stopped studying German...It's freaking hard!!! *enormous grin*
Anyway, here's the Noob Dyeing...
You can really see a gap in the color where I tied the skeins so they wouldn't tangle...It's not pretty, but it made me think of a possible future dyeing project--I could kind of 'tie dye' skeins...For example, starting with a white skein, and a couple of ties, and dye it light blue, then tie it a couple more times, and dye it medium blue, and then some more ties and a dark blue...???
The orange turned out...um, really orange...I was figuring that since it was wool, I could use these experiments for Dulaan hats or something...But I don't think I will inflict that orange on a poor defenceless Mongolian baby! All his little friends would make fun of him, and keep making deerhunting jokes behind his back...
The handpainted stuff I did ended up a disaster...*scowl* The primary colors one basically rinsed out (I don't think I microwaved it long enough), and the other one faded quite a bit, except for the red, which went to a hot pink...Ergh...I may try and overdye them, and play with the Kool Aid a bit more...
Still gonna buy a handpainting dye kit though...Anyone need some Noobish sock yarn?

The dyeing is not that bad, I think everything needs practice :)
And it has to be "Auf Bitten der strickenden Besucher" :)
I know, learning another language is hard, I failed with frensh and my english could be better ;)
Isn't that what I said? *huge grin*
But French? I can do French!! There are no horrible cases in French like in German...That's what always got me...Der, die, das, dem, den, oh gods!!!
Anyway, I will definitely be practicing more with the dyeing thing...If you haven't tried it yet, I would really recommend it!!
