Not just “Red”

So I have kind of a maker crush on Emily over at Turtlepurl yarns I’ve decided that I am also a fan of the contrasting heel/toe sets. On my last order, I put Trenchcoat, Baah Humbug, Rock Paper Lizzard Scissors Spock, and What Does It Mean in my cart. Upon opening my package today, I realized that they all have red as the contrasting colour!!

But when Emily says that she dyes these contrasting colours to match the colourway, she’s not lying! These four reds are all different, picking up the reds in their corresponding colourways.

I have wound up What Does It Mean as I am awaiting a Top Secret Sweater pattern and Cheryl won’t be in to work until next week to try on her socks. I rather like the bit of rubbing in the arch of the foot, but want to make sure that their recipient likes them as well before I go any further.

Rainbow Delight

Wow!!

I finally rewarded myself with another packsage opening. This one is In The Deep Hue Sea It's been several days of good knitting and I felt a treat was in order.

I did not disappoint myself. A thoughtful sticker was a nice opening touch.

500g of stunningly vibrant colours!!

I am a bit of a purist in my rainbows, so I'm not sure what to do with the pink, but I love all of the colours. Erica did two greens, blues, an indigo and a violet. I'm

stunned by the artistry of it and can't wait to get started on this Sweet Spot strip!!

She also included a couple of stitch markers which will never go wanting around me!!

I received the new Hedgehog Fibres kinny Singles Club package. I'm thinking that maybe I'll save them all up for an opening party. I'm surprised that I haven't come across any spoilers about the clubs in my social medias.
