I can't believe I never posted this, but a LONG while back I got a sock blank from KnitPicks and dyed it all pretty with a bunch of Jacquard dyes and Kool-Aid. These were my results: I wanted to paint a design, but at the same time keep it simple. Stars worked well. The lightest blue was Blue Raspberry Kool-Aid. Then I used Jacquard Dye color Peacock. And then ended it with Jacquard Dye color black. These are the finished socks after knitting them up with the pattern Anastasia Socks . The color faded slightly in the steaming of the blank process, and the red and purple stars just came up as random stripes, but their pretty awesome socks in person. I want to do it again!
