Ach, Abby, are you that shallow? How's your Mah Jong? I do like the pose and think you should try out for one of Barkers Beauties. Can you do an effortless hand roll? I bet you can. I think lime green is your color and maybe you are Spring! Who would've guessed it? You look mahvelous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-21267236419651483922008-10-16T08:14:00.000-06:002008-10-16T08:14:00.000-06:00I think the color looks great on you.But if you wi...I think the color looks great on you.<BR/><BR/>But if you wish to dye it...<BR/><BR/>Since you cant use VERY hot (boiling) water, or else it could shrink the sweater, you will have to double the dye amount and be sure to use salt as per the directions.<BR/><BR/>You do not need to bleach it first, but you will wish to wash it in cool water possibly twice after so you dont ruin any clothes when you wash it in a batch.<BR/><BR/>Rit is ok, but at JoAnne Fabrics, there are other dye manufacturers that have more variety of colors. Avoid the stuff for ty-edye because those are typically quite bright - and it sounds like you are trying to avoid bright.<BR/><BR/>I love to dye things in the washing machine (use the *soak* feature*); after you are done dyeing, and the dye water is drained, you just run a load wiith no clothes - just hot water and bleach at the highest capacity IMMEDIATELY after you are done dyeing. The machine comes clean without a problem.brandy101https://www.blogger.com/profile/17279874906424110849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-47591911661687252592008-10-16T05:52:00.000-06:002008-10-16T05:52:00.000-06:00I, um, for what it's worth, me being a guy and all...I, um, for what it's worth, me being a guy and all, like it a lot.Herbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06717596942855371665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-62342937570929871282008-10-15T20:57:00.000-06:002008-10-15T20:57:00.000-06:00I gotta agree with Beej.

This is a gorgeous sweater, lime green and nice cut to boot! <BR/>I LOVE it! <BR/><BR/>And, to HAVE your darker complexion, well, all the better m'dear! YOU can get away with wearing these bright colors that others (such as myself colored much like that as "jerry" commented of) CANNOT wear without looking all washed out and sickly ... <BR/><BR/>Tsk-tsk-tsk ... for you to even question dying it, ohh ... it just kills me a lil ... *shakes head* <BR/><BR/>I shall not covet her beautiful skin coloring ... I shall not covet the 'I wished I could wear that color' sweater ...

I don't know about your mom but my mom had the fashion sense of a gnat when I was kid going to school before I started shopping for myself (out of self preservation). <BR/><BR/>In any event despite the color, the cut of sweater is quite nice and again despite the color, it looks nice on you. <BR/><BR/>However aside from bleaching I have no way of helping you with the if-pepto-bismol-was-green color. The closest I've come to dying anything was tie dye.Whimsical Ranterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559655402387253993noreply@blogger.com
