Cotton Candy Bubblegum!

I pimp out yarns like a pimp pimps out his ladies.
Bad analogy?

Anyway, I just finished my latest yarn. Started on it Friday, maybe yesterday, I can't even remember now...and finished it today.
Started with dyeing some new blue roving on Friday night with some blue Kool-Aid (hey, I'm not going to drink it, might as well dye with it, right?) and ended up with a pretty pastel -- cotton candy blue color. Decided that I needed to mix it with my psychedellic pink roving that I had leftover from my strawberries and cream.

Aaawww, so pretty! =)
So I spent a lot of Saturday spinning (I felt really sick in the chest -- lots of coughing. Not fun) and I spent a LOT of today doing so as well.
After Family Guy this evening I wrapped it into it's respected skein and went to soak it for a while, beat it against the walls and bathtub -- I give it no mercy. And I now have this lovely skein of yarn!

I named it Cotton Candy Bubblegum because it looks exactly like that Bubblicious cotton candy bubblegum. And it kind of smells like it too. I'm rather proud of it too because I think it's the thinnest yarn that I've spun yet. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, but I might add it onto whatever I end up making for my boyfriend's niece. =)
