retro prep I've just started teaching a new sock class at the store and since I needed a sock to start along with my students, I picked up my still packed swim cap bag and pulled out the retro prep yarn I dyed for my dye swap pal and myself.
Wow, I can't believe that I made that. Too cool. posted by alison at 10:38 am | in

Super-duper too cool! Great job. I'd swear that you had three different balls of yarn going if you hadn't told us otherwise. Yeah! Posted by: Johanna at August 11, 2006 10:46 AMI love the colors.

Posted by: Jeanne at August 11, 2006 11:54 AMThat is beautiful. I can't believe you dyed that yourself. I want that yarn! Posted by: Ari at August 11, 2006 11:55 AMWow de wow wow! I love it!

And of course the colors are just too fun :) Posted by: Vicki at August 11, 2006 12:05 PMI LOVE IT. The only thing better than socks from that yarn would be knee socks from that yarn. Posted by: Ashley at August 11, 2006 12:06 PMWOW. Even better than I thought! Posted by: Daphne at August 11, 2006 12:06 PMPerfect color for summer, watermelons!

I dyed up some pink-and-yellow striping yarn a little while ago and it's made me want to start something with it. =) Posted by: mote at August 11, 2006 3:17 PMUuh, you wouldn't happen to have kept the directions on how you did that would you??? Share please if possible??? Posted by: knittingnurse at August 11, 2006 3:28 PMThat is really cool - reminds me of watermelon. Posted by: trek at August 11, 2006 3:32 PMWow, that is really amazing. Great job. Posted by: Erin at August 11, 2006 3:36 PMYou dyed that? What a great job! Posted by: The Purloined Letter at August 11, 2006 3:38 PMThat is an amazingly crisp colour division, especially for a hand-dye! It came out perfectly. Kudos to you for a beautiful job--and in the perfect prep pattern/colours! Those socks just beg for an alligator shirt. Posted by: Megan at August 11, 2006 5:16 PMWOW great dye job!! I love the colors---great definition! Posted by: Morgan at August 11, 2006 6:54 PMSuper fabulous socks! I feel like they should have a little polo player embroidered on the cuff... Great dye job! Posted by: Jen L at August 11, 2006 7:30 PMYou are The Amazing Fluffa!!! That is the cutest yarn ever!!! Posted by: Miz Booshay at August 11, 2006 7:51 PMHey...sorry about that....I just got back from a trip and I was making my blog rounds and I got your site mixed up with dear Fluffa's... You are the Amazing Alison! It's still the cutest yarn ever :o) Donna-the space cadet Posted by: Miz Booshay at August 11, 2006 9:59 PMThe striping is fantastic! Kudos! :-) Posted by: Mary at August 11, 2006 10:32 PMGorgeous yarn! Love the colors - I'm partial to green anyways. I still think it's so cool how self-striping yarn works. Especially hand-dyed that comes out looking that awesome! Posted by: Sheri at August 12, 2006 8:01 AMThat is too cool, man!!! Now all you need is a preppy alligator on it! LOL Ditto knitting nurse up there. If you posted how you did that on your blog somewhere, I missed it! I LOVE that yarn. Posted by: Karla (threadbndr) at August 12, 2006 12:25 PMThat yarn is too cool for words! I love it! Posted by: Chrissy at August 12, 2006 12:42 PMI am in love with that yarn. If you ever decide to make & sell some, put me on the list - I'd love to make a baby hat & sweater for my granddaughter who will be born in about 3 months. Posted by: Donna at August 12, 2006 2:24 PMUmmmmm....How could you possibly have dyed that yarn so perfectly!?!? The stripes sure are coming out fab. Posted by: Orli at August 12, 2006 5:31 PMGorgeous colorway! Reminds me a bit of watermelon! Can't wait to see it finished! Posted by: Sandee at August 12, 2006 7:25 PMI LOVE the colors! They're so bright and lively! Posted by: Heidi at August 13, 2006 5:37 AMWOW! You are a natural at the dyepot! I'd pay $$$ for yarn like that. Not kidding! Posted by: Beth S. at August 13, 2006 12:02 PMAmazing--and the knitting is perfect too! Posted by: alliesw at August 13, 2006 1:23 PMCool-and I like the stripe in the ribbing.
