hungry, why wait?

so i finished the pants.

i also took some pix in action with the whole outfit.. Hungry? take a bite outta crime!
or in this case your sweater. notice the stripes down the side of the pants...

I washed them yesterday and the yarn softened up a bit so i'm sure they'll make her nice and warm and snuggly!
i just made up the pattern for the pants myself...so it's not the best.

now i had a few people asking me about my self dyed yarn, i'm using for my sock pal socks.. . and thank you for all your compliments! which btw i've been making progress but for some reason discovered a hole where there shouldn't be one and last night was spent TINKing back.. i have a few more rows to TINK back before i restart my knitting... it took me a while to decide to tink instead of frog.. one fact being i'm about 4-5 inches up the foot and if i frogged i'd have to start all over again... anyways back to the yarn LOL i used koolaid. there was orange, blue, pink, red, green ok i can't promise the right type of koolaid but i think used for the pink ~slammin strawberry kiwi, green~ lemon lime, blue~ ice blue raspberry lemonade, orange ~mandrian (nice bright orange), red ~ cherry or tropical punch can't remember..... if i remember correctly the purple just kinda happened from the red and blue...duh..lol like you don't know basic color wheel stuff. Oh i used about 3-4 packets and just enough water to make a dark solution. about 1-2 oz... i would guess.
in the pix it the skein on the right...

anyways i hope that helps you out! have fun dying!
gotta jet the booty wants out of the play yard! eek!
