Finished socks update

I successfully washed my Hedera socks made out of the Cherry tree hill yarn. Love the yarn, love the color, can't say too much about the smell of it though. I washed them the other day and when I took them out of the washer, they smelled like a wet sheep! PU!!! So now they are dry, but still have a slight sheepy smell...humm..wonder how I am gonna get that out???

On another note, I dyed some yarn hastily last night to make my niece a pair of socks in the next 2 weeks. I had to end up dying the burgandy part of the yarn twice, cuz it sucked up the color so fast, it didnt' get to the center! I am pleased with the coloring so far. It is hanging out to dry in what I call my yarn tree ( the neighbors think I"m crazy) and hopefully it will be dry enough to ball up this evening. That would be great!

Well, I need to hem some pants for the man now cuz I promised...promises promises....

Until later
