Fun with Kool-Aid

I've been having a good time hand dying plain Briggs & Little worsted and sport weight yarn with Kool-Aid. The secret is my triangular glass bowl - this allows for the addition of lots of colours without them running all over each other.

Left: Strawberry and Grape (as well as some other colour I thougth was going to be blue, but ended up being more purple)

Right: No-name brand Lime, Ice Berry, Switchin' Secret

There is approx. 200 m of the worsted weight, 400 m of the sport - I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet but they just might end up as socks. I have a "Magic Loop" method booklet and a set of Addi Turbo 3.75 mm circs (80 cm) to work some socks up on; I'm very curious to try this method of circular knitting as I hate dpns.
