It was so fun and really much easier than I thought it would be! :) I can't wait to knit up! :D

Way cool!
That gives me an idea for my sister since she likes to knit.
Do you find it cheaper than buying already colored yarn?

YES!
I bought the yarn from Knit Picks (http://www.knitpicks.com). It was $3.99 a hank for 440 yards. :) It's 100% wool and totally feltable. The only other cost was for the saran wrap because I didn't have any. :D
Thanks everyone! I can't wait to knit and felt it up! :D

WOW! I see you used cake decorating dyes. What a great way to get the color scheme you want!!! I think I will try that!
If you are up for it I would love to learn how to knit. I also need to know what I need to begin knitting. I don't even know where to start.
Just let me know when you have the time. But give me a couple weeks, as I am sick, and my back is out. I just cannot sit up for very long.
