After dying Easter eggs with LB, I had leftover dye in the little cups. I decided not to let it go to waste. I took my undyed Cherry Tree Hill yarn and painted it with the leftover dye. I used the microwave method to set it (soaked in vinegar, handpainted, wrapped in Saran, microwaved for two minute intervals with rests in between until set). It came out very bright. I am thinking of making it a scarf for one of my nieces. I have several leftover tablets (the kit came with 12 tablets, but we only used four…too many colors would have been too overwhelming for LB). I am deciding what I want to do with them. It is nearly impossible to tell what colors the tablets will become. I am thinking of throwing some yarn and all the tablets into a giant kettle and letting fate decide!
I also participated in the Easter One Skein Swap on the Blankie Mania group on Ravelry. I got my yarn last week sometime. The mini-skeins are so adorable! I have already made a square with one. It seems the Easter Bunny thought to bring only my favorite things: yarn and chocolate!
