I dyed!!!

This weekend I spent a lot of time dyeing fabric and had a blast.  I started doing some Friday night when I got home after a very long, stressful day at work.  It was a big stress release.  I then did a little bit more yesterday morning and really got into things today.  Today KK came over and we dyed fabric together.  Here are some pictures of my/our adventure.

As I type, most of the fabric is in the washing machine.  I have my medium and light gradations and several mixed fabrics in the wash and my dark gradation and more mixed fabrics are processing a little bit longer.  I'll wash those tomorrow.  

I really enjoyed dyeing fabric and will definitely do more.  I dyed 30 yards of fabric this weekend, using all of the fabric that I bought to do this.  I'll have to get more soon.  I have some Christmas presents in mind that I'd like to make before it gets too cold to dye outside.
