Over the weekend, I got to do some major enabling with two friends. Both have been knitting about 2 years now and I thought it might be time to start expanding their horizons (addictions). Another friend who teaches spinning often hosts dye workshops and so I signed the three of us up for a day of playing with yarn and dye. I did dye 2 skeins of Knitpicks sock yarn and some roving from my sheep, but mainly I was there to cheer them on their maiden voyage into the land of no return. (Next on my agenda is spinning. They both profess to have very little interest in learning to spin, but just give me a little time!) It was so vindicating to hear them say over and over again how much fun it was learning to dye. I see more dyeing "play-dates" in our future.
And no, I don't feel a bit guilty for my part in the beginning of my friend's new found obsession. After all, what are friends for but to share all the good stuff amongst us?
