Year of Shawls: June Sonnenblume

This would be my June shawl, Sonnenblume. I originally knit this using stash yarn leftover from a weaving project. It was Lion Brand 1878, in Fisherman. 

And as you can tell the shawl was kinda boring. I'm all for white shawls. But I just wasn't feeling this one.

So, I decided to dye my finished shawl using Kool-Aid.

First, I rolled up both sides of the shawl.  Then I placed it in a microwavable glass baking dish. I poured a mixture of Strawberry, Grape, Pink Lemonade and Cherry over the shawl. I then microwaved it for 5 minutes. 

It ended up with a sorta hand painted feel.

It's definitely not white anymore.
