Ella and I spent Wednesday afternoon dying some yarn in the crock pot with kool aid, cake coloring and Easter egg dye. She just couldn't keep her hands out of it and ended up with purple nails which she thought was really cool.

Today she wound the yarn into 2 balls and now she's knitting a cabled hat! She doesn't believe in starting with anything simple. She's knit and crocheted several hats but found this pattern on Figheadh and just had to try it. She's been working on a swatch for several days and has the pattern pretty much memorized.
She told me she was so glad I lived here because she would have never got to do anything like this without me.

What a sweetie!
