I ripped apart the bobbled coat I started and dyed the yarns now that my microwave works! I think this will knit up into a nice bag.

I also ripped apart the Dover sweater I started. Really, it's just an oversized swatch seeing as I never had enough yarn to finish a sweater to begin with. I tried dyeing and overdyeing it blue, but I just can't get the color to take very well. I'm going to try overdyeing it again tomorrow. Maybe I need to wait for the yarn to dry before overdyeing for it to be effective? Maybe it's not really wool? That would be scandalous. The reason it's taking up dye less well is probably because it has a smaller surface area to mass ratio, unlike the mohair which just sucks up dye like mad. Mmm, mohair.
