To answer your question about the yarn in the pics I posted, I did dye that blue. That's 10 tabs of blue egg dye and two skeins of patons yarn. There was still dye left over, lol! I may have gotten away with dyeing two more skeins, who knows.
It is a nice color. The funny thing is that it almost EXACTLY matches the aqua color I'm using for DD's skirted longies, so I had to be careful not to mix them up.
