Mailed yesterday . . .



Hi all -- thought I'd chime in with my addition to the latest campaign. I only got the parcel into the post office yesterday so, hopefully, it'll make it to San Francisco in time! The socks and mitts were finished a while ago and set aside. The vest was just finished before being mailed. Easy pattern, though my gauge was off: -- Knit Kid's Vest by Coats & Clark. You can find it at http://www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Knitting/Projects/BabyChild/LW1565+Knit+Kids+Vests.htm
Watching all your projects appear on the blog has been very inspiring -- keep up the good work, everyone!

I like your cheerful colors! What is the pink yarn? It is particularly pretty.

Thanks, Tory. The pink yarn is actually a little orangier than the photo shows. It was an off-white roving-type yarn, almost no twist to it at all, that I dyed with Kool-Aid (strawberry-kiwi flavour). I liked the way it came out sort of mottled.

Strawberry-kiwi, eh? I haven't tried Kool-aid dying yet, but that sounds like fun.
