dotty, now your yarn reminds me of strawberry daiquiri jelly bellies. i'm sure if i keep looking at it, it will remind me of something else.

Well, here's my first batch, however I have a new one "cooking" in the oven now. This first batch was done with Kool-aid (2 different colors), the second is being done with purple food coloring.

Labeelady- that is great colors!

You really think so? The Berry Blue Kool-aid turned out an aqua color when mixed with the Lemonade Kool-aid.

I think it'll knit up gorgeous!

I've got some new dye jobs myself, some in my etsy store, some in my blog. Both linked in my sig.
