Posessed

One of my very favourite games to play is matchy, matchy with all of the skeins of sock yarn hanging on the sock wall of colour in the dye barn.

I like seeing compliments and contrasts who wants to be fast tonal friends and how they all play together. If there is a specific project that has my attention or the attention of the knitter brain at large, well then all the better.

So… this evening I spent an hour putting together colour trios for our current obsession, the affection of colour.  Here’s a few of them. I only used what was hanging there and we are a bit short since we are working on restocking the wall with the brand new larger skeins.

So much colour and so little time… I brewed up a whole bunch of new shaded solids today that we plan on having up by Friday.  There’s a smokey beige and pale marine green that I’m so excited to see that, I think after I post this, it’s off to the barn to rinse them out.

Sweet dreams!
