I knit it using some yarn that I had recycled and dyed... thinking that since the yarn had both blue and pink in it, it might somehow be gender neutral. (I knit this up before I knew if I was expecting boys or girls).
But yeah... it totally looks like a girl's sweater.
So I thought, why not see if I can overdye it blue?
So I got out my handy dandy dye pot, and dug out all of my blue food colouring and got to work.
Oh I filmed it too!
And I have to say, I think I like the result.
It came out maybe a little darker than I wanted, but that's ok, I still like it. Now I'm off to go knit a second one, and overdye it differently (because twins shouldn't match perfectly, right?)
Let me know if you've had any successful overdyeing experiments in the comments below!
That's right... Pregnant.... with Twins! And I'm vlogging about it over on my youtube channel.
I'll be posting weekly vlogs, every Monday, as I knit and crochet my way towards my June due date.
Here are week 17-18, and week 19.
Week 17/18 show notes: I'm starting a new weekly vlog! I'll be posting a video every Sunday for the next 5 or so months. What's the topic? I'm knitting and crocheting for 3 now!
That's right, I'm expecting twins this June, and couldn't be more excited to wrap them up in lovely yarnny goodness!
