Today I dyed yarn for a swap on 
Ravelry.  The request was for pink, which is way outside my normal color range.  I used Wilton food coloring in pink and rose, and kool aid pink lemonade.  I'm not thrilled with the results, but it is pink.  I was hoping for a bit more variation in color.   The pictures were taken right after the rinse, so we'll see what it looks like dry and reskeined in a day or two.                          
     
I like the results from my last session better.

I made it to JoAnn's today & found some rings to try out the buttons, now I just need to dig out the embroidery floss.
 
I actually love this shade of pink! And I would never have thought of using food coloring and Kool Aid. Very cool!
