Unexpected

I had an unexpected package on my doorstep today! From my Secret Pal! Yay!! A whole slew of knitpicks palette yarn! I am so happy it makes me want to cast on for about a dozen different things. But I will have patience if just for a week! My plan with all these lovelies?

I will be making some fair isle socks from the book Sensational Socks. And some mittens using Hello Yarns mitten charts. I am sure that a hat will come out of me at some point but I am just so excited! My only issue is this….the colors never match what I see on my monitor. I do believe, going on what other people have told me, that I am not the only one with this issue. The orange is WOWZA bright! Online it’s a nice muted pumpkin orange.

See larger image & Learn MoreThat is not the color I am holding up to the screen. Why can’t Knitpicks get a wider shot of the yarn? I truly think that would get a better picture, with better lighting too. Just a suggestion that I am sure won’t be heard. I have already been told by them that it’s my monitor. Okay then!

So, THANKS SECRET PAL!!!
