colors!

my evening went something like this.

boil 25.5 quarts of water, measure out 4 cups of salt, measure out 1.25 cups of fabric dye. place in large bucket.
stuff socks into dyeing water. wait 30 minutes, stirring twice.
rinse with cold water, wring out by hand.
haul down to the laundry room, dump in pile.
wait 2 hours on load in washer to finish so i can rinse them out properly.
80 minutes for rinse.

beautiful socks!
purple for ashley
pink for shannon
yellow for elizabeth
blue for taylor

now it will be immensely easier to sort and fold socks. not only that, but it will be a cinch to figure out which child left their socks under the table or behind the chairs!
