That's sock yarn that was discontinued and sock yarn that has been something else but it didn't work out. Together, they are colors that do not want their picture made and I'm not in the mood to agrue. Yeah, I'm having a good time.
Also really tired of knitting pairs of stuff. There's that sense of relief one gets upon finishing an item. For me, it is lost the moment I realize that I need to make another one just like the one I finally finished.
At least, I do not take part in the Winter Season of Greed, so it's not like I've got a time crunch staring at me or anything. Could you imagine? o.O
A few of you complimented the bowl/dish from the other day. Here's a slightly better photo.
I think they're poppies...
Fancy tulips and red poppies. Totally perfect and a wonderfully thoughtful gift from Cheryl. It was designed by the same man who did those tins that I used to collect. Yes, there's a story there. No, it's not for you.
What do you want? I've got sock yarn knitting to do. :p
Red usually resists picture taking. It's so naughty that way!
I was just asked to make another pair of mittens by my sister but they are just thumbless mittens for her 2 yr old great grandson so it won't be much of a job. But I'm definitely with you on being tired of knitting pairs!

"Winter Season of Greed". Perfect. I do as little as possible.

Iagree with you on the pairs thing, but need to actually do one of a pair to get tired of it. Love the bowl. Is it china or metal? I can't tell from here.

It's nice to have a fellowship of friends who do not participate in the "season". I am happy about have a few days off work, however. Easens Grez!

Lovely bowl!
I do participate in the Season of Greed. And this year, it's not even bringing me down. :-) (But it's definitely cutting into my knitting time. . .)

I know just what you mean about facing that second one. I've been all about the quick FO high lately.

Season of Greed - like it. I'm participating and winning! But, I'd much rather make time for a phone call! xo

Beautiful bowl. I have a similarly styled plant that was my husband's Grandmother's. Love to use it to pretty things up. I wonder why I never thought of photographing yarn on it. (Probably cause I rarely actually remember to take a photo of the yarn or the finished project.)

Beautiful bowl. I think my mom has (or had, she downsized last year, so it may be that I now have it) one much like it.
