Makes it easy for people to find something (such as your SIL) to choose something you will like. Every now and then, though, it is good to stretch and find something out of your comfort zone. That's me. I don't always realize it, but I gravitate toward the cool colors. This past year, I have made a conscious effort to choose things that outside of my color 'box.' Sometimes that has been good, but sometimes not. When I have a choice between something I will sometimes choose the one you would least predict I would choose because it is different. Not alwasy though.<BR/><BR/>I am like this in a restaurant. I do like to try new things, but if I find something I really like at a restaurant, that is what I want to order when I am there. Every now and then, I will find something else I like, but I end up going back to where I started.<BR/><BR/>Your Wool Girl yarn is a bright contrast to the blue, that's for sure. Finding the right pattern will be interesting. Possibly the Caterpillar Socks at http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/caterpillar-sock or the Bellatrix at http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bellatrix would be interesting.<BR/><BR/>It's nice to try new things, but good having your all time favorites too. Interesting too how your other clothes are similar to themselves, but don't gravitate to your yarn color of choice.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03735017897837133117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835299.post-32088604465479669992008-06-25T15:08:00.000-07:002008-06-25T15:08:00.000-07:00My sock stash is more muted, however, my sweater s...My sock stash is more muted, however, my sweater stash is a riot of color.
