YPF au Naturale
Last Monday:
Cpurl to Colleague: Good morning!
Cpurl's Colleague: Did you have a good weekend?
Cpurl: Yes! I went to Berkeley and took a class on Natural Dying
A look of horror crosses colleague's face
Cpurl: Oh no, no, no, not DYING, Dy-ing.... like Easter eggs
Bubble over colleagues head: She's so weird
LCK gave me some undyed sock yarn so I brought it to the Natural Dying Intensive and dyed it in cochineal. So I present my very first (and maybe last) hank of naturally dyed sock yarn. I'll call it Raspberry Sorbet.

Oh my goodness!!! Gorgeous!!! Love the subtle variations of the pink!!! And it soooooo reminds me of raspberry sorbet!!
THis can sooo not be your last attempt!
That's gorgeous!!!
You know I've always wanted to die in a forest. I didn't know they taught classes ;-)
LOL . . . learning how to exit this world the natural way, huh?? Too funny.
Your your is fabulous! I don't think you can let it be your last!!!
How funny! It's an easy mistake to make for the non-knitter. A fiber fanatic wouldn't even have had to ask. : )
The yarn is beautiful. I love the color, it's subtle yet rich.
Funny story!
Great name for that color - it really does look like sorbet! I don't know if I want to taste it or knit with it! But it sure is pretty.
BEAUTIFUL. The name suits it very well.
Oh, it looks great! GOod job. I hope that's not your last. :D
Who would think that crushed up bugs could lead to something that beautiful?
Gorgeous! I love the color and the variations....I love "solid" colors that have a bit more to them.
Just gorgeous!!! WTG you!! :)
Oh wow !!
I'm in lurve !!
It's so yummy. And in Berkeley, natural dying would probably be a reasonable weekend seminar. No embalming, etc. Hee.
Hard to believe any ugly old bug could be responsible for something so pretty huh? Good job you yarn weirdo!
Jacque
That is so pretty.
You're "Natural Dying" will keep me smiling for days. Hilarious! You should've resisted correcting her and listened for the stories that may have gone around your workplace. "Oh my god!" "Did you hear she's dying naturally?" "Does that mean nude?"
Pretty rasberry.
Ooooh pretty!
Oh, how pretty!
And you tell funny stories.
I love it! It's almost as good as the coworker story!!! Hee hee
ok, not tommy, but me. the hubby was on the 'puter and I didn't realize I was blogging under his sign in! oops! purdy in pink!
