Kool-Aid Acid Test

so i was only kidding when i said that cathi sent me black and gold funfur....

this is what she sent me... 2 wonderful coordinating skeins of noro in 115 and 92.

which i used to make the rainbow scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts.   since i had to go to minneapolis for a day this week, i was able to do most of my knitting during the plane ride (my boss and i had been dreading going to minneapolis  in february because we were afraid it would be bone-chilling cold.  well it was 50 degrees!  a good 20 degrees warmer than home.  it felt like summer). 

(by the way, can someone recommend photo editing software that isn't outrageously expensive and relatively easy to learn?  these pictures look like ass.)

and finally,  here are the balls of yarn that i dyed a couple of weeks ago.  i'm not sure how i feel about them.  i've tried to knit them up and have ended up frogging because i'm just not all that inspired.  oh well.
