What do you think? I've got a groove worn in my index finger where the yarn rests while I pick and there is embedded dye in it. Trust me, I've washed my hands multiple times today and the mark hasn't faded much. But the result is . . .
Finished Stealth Pas De Deux Part 1, aka Charade socks made from Socks That Rock in Black Onyx. These are for my DH for Father's Day.
I know, I know, Father's Day is still 2 weeks away. But now that one pair is done, I don't need to keep it a stealth project. Even if DH peeks at the blog (he hasn't yet), one pair is done. Call me strange but if he knew about them in advance and I managed to NOT get them done in time, I'd feel like a total bum. Whew!
Now, I need to go soak the dye off my index finger. Think peroxide would help?

Good job on the socks!
I've used water and baking soda to remove dye stains on my hands as it's a mild abrasive. There is also stuff called Gojo that is used by mechanics that takes off everything from paint to grease. I suspect it will also remove the dye.
Then again, it is sort of a badge of honor really...you might want to just leave it there!
I consider the stain a badge of honor!
ha ha ha...I read through Google Reader and hadn't seen the comments here yet, but I clicked in to say that I'd leave the stain as a badge of honor. But of course I'm not going to say that now because it's already been said before. Then again, GMTA. :-)
Pickle juice? I've heard that works on koolaid stains . . .
