Soaker up for auction!

LLL Canada is holding a charity auction on ebay.
"Breastfeeding gives babies the best possible start in life. Most mothers know this and eight out of ten make the decision to breastfeed their babies. However, by the time most babies are three months old, less than three are still breastfeeding. Yet, the Canadian Pediatric Society recommends exclusive breastfeeding for at least six months. La Leche League Canada can help more mothers to breastfeed their babies but we need your help to support our programs. "

I have donated a punk knitter's soaker cover to the auction - please help by bidding on items posted :)

I knit this using bernat lana 100% in the natural colour - then dyed it using a combination of Kool-Aid and foodcolouring in a crockpot (I used a combination of instructions from www.knitty.com/archive.html and http://home.earthlink.net/~skyvieww/sierraspun/crockfinish.htm and http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/na_knitting/article/0,2025,DIY_14141_4185709,00.html). I then wound the hank of wool by hand (http://www.onceuponapattern.com/custom/pdffiles/PullSkein.pdf) and voila, started knitting the punk knitter's soaker pattern - http://community.livejournal.com/punk_knitters/110889.html.

What did I do before internet???
