Pink Willie!

I am so excited! yesterday i did major cleaning around the house and this included our three dogs...all of this may have been stimulated by the fact that i saw one of the new 'queer eye for the straight guy' in las vegas and this magician has dyed his dog pink with kool-aid...so i lamented the fact that i had not thought of this sooner (since i love to dye yarn with kool-aid) and went on-line to research...i thought the best bet was to dissolve the kool-aid in conditioner and put it on him...the on-line tips suggested leaving it on for like 20 minutes, but it's kinda burny to the skin if you have any cuts or anything and willie is sensitive so we maybe left it on for 8-10 minutes and then had a good rinse...i used the black cherry flavor because i felt cherry would give me too orange of results...so here's my finished baby...!!!



i think he looks adorable...the hue of the color is slightly inconsistent and seems to be darker around his shoulders and neck but is just what i had in mind...now i should knit him something in the Strawberry Satellite Stripe sock yarn so he coordinates...whew!

He reminds of the the horse that changes colors in the Wizard of Oz. Can you do blue next time?
