Today's WTF is just how much money I just spent at the mall. o.0
On the upside, I have fab new glasses and can actually see. On the downside, I may never leave the house again.
Note to Self: Stay out of that mall.
The lovely and talented Karrie from Girl on the Rocks is having her annual post Rhinebeck contest for those of us who did not get to go. Actually, I think anyone can play. Go read her small print if you want to know for sure.
Try not to be shocked by the colors here. I know it's surprising coming from me, but try to be brave.
On the left is two skeins of Lorna's Laces sock yarn in Black Purl. In the middle is a well traveled skein of C*Eye*Ber Fiber softee sock yarn in Blue Waves. This skein was purchased for me in Nashville and flew to Reno before arriving here. It's a bit more purple than my photo shows, btw. Ya'll should be thankful the picture's in focus... let's just be honest. The two skeins on the right are from Nature's Palette. It's sock weight yarn in the Lupine colorway. I bought it thinking I would use it for the Embossed Leaves pattern from the Interweave Knits sock book, but who knows what it will end up being.
Can you believe I have that much blue/purple in my freezer stash? And that's not all of it, either.
Hidden depths, people. Hidden depths...
Hee, those are, collectively, my favorite colors on this earth.

It's all very pretty. I say pink for spring/summer, purple for fall/winter. Embossed Leaves is a wonderful pattern, the NP would be lovely. And BTW, is there any food in the freezer?

What? No picture of the new glasses?

Yeah, what Carole said. How about just putting them on some yarn. Or the kitty? SOMETHING????

I adore the Embossed Leaves pattern. One of my most favorite knits. It'll look fabulous in that purple!

That is definitely yarn to find in the stash be excited about finding. This is an excellent entry into the contest.

When it thaws out, it will be pink.

Love Jenifleur's comment. If those yarns don't happen to suit you, you could just remember li'l ol' purple-loving me. Just sayin'.

That Black Pearl is fantastic!

I love the black purl color way. I was thinking of getting enough to do a shawl with sometime.
I'm with Jen... it does look like a frost bitten pink. :D

Excellent yarn and color choices. (Well, I would say that.)

Too funny. I just posted about my Big Mall Adventure, and then came here to read. :)

Beautiful! I agree with Jen - you should have some pink yarn by now...
