Self-Striping Yarn

Ok, I'll admit it. The most impressive thing I've seen in knitting has nothing to do with easy knitting patterns. Yes, it was cool to realize for the first time that I could actually make something out of yarn, but that wasn't the most impressive thing.

No, the coolest, most impressive thing I've seen is when my wife first made a sock with self-striping yarn. I was just completely flabbergasted. Now, I don't make socks yet (remember, I like the easy knitting patterns!) so I haven't gotten to use any self-stripping yarn yet. I'm still "learning my craft", so to speak.

But even so, I found this article on how to make your own self-striping yarn and I thought it was pretty cool.

Here's the link to the article at "See Eunny Knit".

It doesn't look too hard to do, it just looks like it will take some time and a bit of effort to make it properly. To me, it looks like the hardest thing will to be getting all the yarn organized and keeping the cats out of it!
