Graduating
Today is the last day of school and the kids are psyched. They actually got up on time, brushed, ate and were sitting in the car waiting for ME at 8:00. Will wonders never cease!
Here is the 6th grade graduate holding his official certificate. We are very proud of his accomplishments this year. He has learned how to ‘deal’ with his ADHD in the classroom setting and I’m sure will do fine next year in Jr. High.
Graduating Colors:
If you remember I’ve been trying out different techniques for dying sock yarn.
Step one: after knitting the blank on the FBN I dye it using a hand paint method.
Step two: Set the dye, dry and wind into a ball. (The above dyed cloth is the Lower left ball)
Step 3: Knit the socks, press and label
You’ll notice from each blank I knit I get two pair of socks that are variations on a theme. This way no two pair of socks are the same. Very cool if I do say so myself!

This is just so cool Lynette - the whole process from knitting up the yarn, dying it, *un-knitting* it into a ball and then *re-knitting* it into socks! The socks are absolutely gorgeous - Christa is in love with her pair.

These socks are wonderful!!! I love your color combinations and how they knit up so that each pair of socks matches, or I suppose you could mix and match between the 2 pairs for a little bit of a twist, but I’m still stuck on the preference of my sock mates being as close as they can to each other. Anyway, just wonderful, you should be very proud.
