So many colors.
So little time…
I feel a little bit like the white rabbit in Alice. Franticly running about and chanting I am late, I am late for a very important date. In fact I am not late, just having a hard time making color decisions. So my chant is “ I can’t decide,I can’t decide” added into the frantic pacing.
There are colors that have to go back because it is that time of year. There are the lovely fall colors from the “color vault” that need to see the light of day again. There is the absolute MASSIVE amount that has been pouring out of me for the past two months. New colors that I am in love with and want to add to the wall of color here. and share with you all.
Oh and let’s not forget the “Spirits”,who are all on my kitchen table quietly whispering and reminding me of their presence every single time I walk by. Yikes, color haunting.
Because we have limited space and time, there are only so many that we can offer at one given time. This is one of the several reasons we rotate colors. Sometimes I find it extremely frustrating and a wee bit constricting. This is certainly one of those times. Which is why I feel slightly white rabbitish. Although this fellow that I ran into this weekend embodies some of the more edgy feelings I have been working with in relation to my color choosing angst.
Holding onto new colorways whether they are still in my head or on yarn is one of the hardest parts of what I do now. There is truth to the saying, “there is a time and season for everything” in relationship to color. However, I am enough of a child at heart that I want to share and say, “Ohh look! Isn’t this wonderful and wouldn’t it be great here and here and yes, even here in this yarn, with this stitch and … look what this color does when it meets and mingles with this one.” I do have my close yarny friends I share this with and it helps a lot.
Ultimately though, it is sharing it with you that is fulfilling. Seeing what everyone does with it. Who likes what and why. Who does not like what and why. Like, I still do not understand why there are not more who are head over heels for Highway 30. Don’t get it, I love this colorway. Maybe it is that season thing. Could be that this color mixture has just not hit its prime-time.
Anyway, I am finalizing this next rotation today so I get the photos done and ready for the techies to put on the site on the 18th.
Seems really soon doesn’t it?
