I recently purchased two sock blanks from Knit Picks. I also purchased dye, but I knew at least one of my cats would likely participate (there's just no shutting these guys out), so I used food coloring adapting Julie Theaker's "cold pour method" described in her Knitting: Spring 07 article "Color to dye for." The photographs show the "wrong" side, but I thought that side photographed the best. The top photograph features my helper, Greta. I also relied on the McCormick Neon colors - the purple in the bottom photograph and the lime green in the top one are particularly striking. I wonder if any of the colors glow in the dark? Now to see how these knit up into socks!
