The dye-ing of Sock Yarn

With world wide knit in public day coming soon, I thought it would be a good idea to have a "practice" run at the making of sock yarn before the big event!!! With my mother-in-law and her sister (my Aunt-In-Law) along with Alex, Nick, Hannah and Vic, I set out on the journey to make sock yarn.... Let me tell you.... next time I might want to try it when I'm alone....ahahha anyhow... we had lots of fun, made a mess of course and some fabulous yarn! I'll upload the pic's when I get home. I'm on the heel flap now so hopefully they will be done this weekend!!!

Hi, this is Cathy, part of the team at the yarn store, Ewe To You Yarns in Grand Blanc Michigan.
This coming week I am away away away to San Francisco to see my daughter. Fun will abound, sites will be seen and family will be nurtured. In the mean time, Ewe To You Yarns will carry on as ever. Help will be offered, misgivings will be appeased and projects will be completed. Could life be any grander?
