Knitters sweep the podium...

Started with the leftover Easter egg dyes (Kool-aid and food coloring): Using a yard of dupioni silk, I soaked the fabric overnight to make sure it was thoroughly wetted. I then poured off the water and decided to keep the fabric all scrunched up. This would ensure an interesting dye result. Poured all the leftover dyes onto the fabric.
