on color

i am a big fan of color. i love every color of the rainbow in all of its subtly and contrast. i can never understand how someone could have one favorite color. how do you choose just one? i have never really noticed if i had a pattern to what colors i am attracted to. my stash is proof of my eclectic color philosophy, but then i noticed something this morning.



the colors in this ceramic skull are almost the exact same colors in the skein of handmaiden casbah i bought last week at twist yarns. i think it's pretty funny that they match so well. it almost mades me sad to knit it up and break them apart. this color is called "cosmic" by the way and i think it's the perfect name. it's what i would imagine a meteor shower or shooting stars would look like in space. i am thinking of making a lacy scarf of out of so i can have that gorgeous softness around my neck. i am not sure what pattern would look best with such high contrast colors though. any suggestions would be welcome.

this weekend is going to be full of knitterly events. tomorrow, my friend and i are heading out to bergamot station in santa monica to see the knitted coral reef exhibit. the pics i've seen of it look awesome and i can't wait. sunday morning i am getting up bright and early to get in line for unwind's annual superbowl yarn sale. i plan on picking up some koigu in the front room but have no idea what in the 50% off back room this year. i am going to try to be good though and only get yarn i can really use and not just because it's on sale. we'll see how that goes.
