Dyeing from a Picture

I joined a challenge one of the podcasters I listen to (Dyer's Notebook) had for dyeing yarn from a picture assigned to you.

Here is the picture I was given for my challenge:


I chose to use the flowers and not the grass/leaves with it. First I tied off my yarn:


I soaked the yarn in vinegar and water.  Then added purples and slowly turned the yarn so it would add unevenly.


After I was done with the purple, I took off the ties and painted on the orange where the ties were.  Then soaked the skein in hot water to set the color.


Semi wound back up.



I know this sounds horrible, but ugh, I love it! I have already cast on sock in it for myself. I hope I take the time to do this again in the future.
