I was inspired by this sweater (Schmeebot)to travel back in time - the the days of Mork and Mindy; roller skates with pom poms; Brady Bunch reruns; Love Boat and Gilligan's Island after school; smelly stickers and grape Bubbalicious gum. I'm sitting under a tree wearing these socks, reading a Judy Blume book. . . a time when rainbows ruled the fashion world of an 11 year old girl.
Knit Picks Sock Blank dyed with Kool-aid for my Happy Day Socks that I want to start soon ... very soon.

Good going on the dye job! I love (fleeting) smell of Kool-Aid dyed yarn. Can't wait to see your FO.
I can't wait to see the socks! (And? Nanu, nanu.)
Hi! I'll ask a stupid question...what's a sock blank??? Do you dye a pice of knitted fabric and then unravel it and knit socks out of it? The colours remind me of a rainbow:-)
Also-what do you think of "my sister's keper"? I just read it,and it made me think. I think it raises some important issues.
yum! I can't wait to see them all knit up!
Koolaid has never looked so fun!! Those socks are going to be awesome!
Cute! I totally remember drawing rainbows all the time!
I love the rainbow colors! They will be so much fun to wear.
But, I don't get it. It's not yarn, so what do you do now?
OMG! That looks like SO MUCH FUN! I am going to KP to make an order TONIGHT!!!!
