I think you're doing a good job!  My only suggestion is that if you get down into the folds a little more with the tip of your squeeze bottle, you will get more color, less white.  But your swirl shape is very good, as is your selection of colors to use together.  How long are you batching before you rinse?  Usually, when I do direct application dyeing I will wrap in plastic and let them sit overnight before rinsing and washing with synthrapol.  That way I give the dye and soda ash a good period to bond, and part of the batching is during the day when the room temp is at least 67-70 degrees.
Have fun, and keep at it!
