sweet & sour… yarn

Filed under: Uncategorized

lookee what i did to the two skeins of (natural off-white color) worsted wool i got from knit picks…

my hands are pink now too

the light one is pink lemonade kool-aid (3 packets) and the dark is black cherry (also 3 packets). i used a mix of instructions i’ve read on various sites around the interweb, but mostly the ones from knitty. i think for a first attempt, they turned out perfectly. the picture doesn’t show it too well, but both colors have a really nice variegation throughout (unintentional, but i’m pretty sure i prefer it this way instead of solid colors). my original plan was to make a felted bag with the two colors, but i like the variegation a lot and i think it might get lost in the felting. so once again, i dunno.

and in lamer news, i’ve decided to make a version of the fry-up bag. why? because i don’t have one. also because i have plenty of yarn with which to make it. mine will be less complex though. and it will not have a matching beret.
