I present to you my Fry Up Part II.  We left off yesterday with me, your protagonist, having knit a mammary gland.  I had a number of options:

1. re-knit the bag
2. re-knit the yolk
3. ignore the whole sordid situation

I did a lot of stash searching — this is no easy task as I have stash hidden everywhere and in some places that I forgot about. 

***I actually became quite disgusted with myself as I went through my stash — I either have way too much yarn or I need a bigger place to stash it.  (yeah, I think it’s the last one too).  Maybe today’s project will be finding one large storage spot for the stash.***

The simplest approach would be to re-knit the yolk.  And believe me, that was the path I was planning on taking.  Alas in all my stash far and wide, the only thing close to yellow was a color that was shockingly similar to the already knitted nipplesque color.

It was becoming clear that I would have to re-knit the plate/bag since there was no way I could ignore it.  When one is going out on a limb and knitting bacon & eggs, one should be sure that the project indeed looks like bacon & eggs. 

I actually started knitting a plate out of some blue stuff from my stash — I loved my friend’s idea for the Blue Plate Special.  Imagine my crankiness when it hit me that my blue was mohair.  Fuzzy plates?  nah. 

Next I tried casting on with some Fisherman Wool by Lion Brand that I had bought (months ago)to try my hand at dying.  The thought process that goes into this decision is spectacularly illogical.

oh, here’s something that might work – but you bought that to try dying yarn- yeah, you were going to dye yarn- fabulous colors that would make you weep with joy- but the kids drank all the Kool-Aid – how long ago did you buy it?-just use it now and when you become a world class dyer you can buy more- do you mean it?-are you sure?

So, onto the needles goes the Fisherman’s Wool.  I get as far as the second row before realizing that if the plate is knit in this off white color, then the egg white won’t show up to its best advantage.  ergh.

Luckily for you my dear reader, Purlingswine is a plucky gal — taking a tip from Fry Up Alongers, I decided to go the Fiesta Ware route.  Once I have the bag portion done, I will re-knit the yolk in the daffodil yellow from the original bag.

seems like a lot of agonizing doesn’t it?
