They absorbed much of the coffee. When they dried, they were the most wonderful color, ranging from light to dark!

Who needs expensive threads when you can do something like this? This is a <BR/>really cute design, by the way.<BR/><BR/>The Halloween tag that Annie<BR/>stitched for you is too funny!<BR/>I would never have thought to <BR/>stitch those colours of threads on that colour of fabric, but<BR/>they really look great on it. <BR/><BR/>Your knitting projects are really<BR/>Fall inspired I think. I love <BR/>your new comfy cardigan, both in<BR/>style and because of the colour.<BR/>And your cowl and fingerless mitts<BR/>are a gorgeous pumpkin colour.<BR/>And the socks are so pretty too.<BR/>Who taught you to knit?? I'd love<BR/>to learn, but was born with ten<BR/>thumbs, and I can't really afford<BR/>another hobby right now anyways.<BR/><BR/>Wonder what tea would do to white<BR/>DMC thread?? We don't drink <BR/>coffee in this house. <BR/><BR/>Cheers!Crazee4bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978860714766853681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158460624356909480.post-81414264871677628432008-10-10T15:46:00.000-06:002008-10-10T15:46:00.000-06:00I have so wanted to try this for ages and you have...I have so wanted to try this for ages and you have made it look just so so easy. <BR/><BR/>I would love to be in your draw and as you say thread here in the UK is expensive but even so win or not I am determined to have a go now.Stitchingrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06006141649328382137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158460624356909480.post-43724044366797330062008-10-10T07:45:00.000-06:002008-10-10T07:45:00.000-06:00Thanks fro sharing your dying process!Thanks fro sharing your dying process!Dani - tkdchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304768491192625890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158460624356909480.post-36977913602421482492008-10-10T07:29:00.000-06:002008-10-10T07:29:00.000-06:00Thanks so much Staci for the tutorial.
