lookee what i did to the two skeins of (natural off-white color)&nbs p;worsted wool i got from knit picks...

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.
