One thing you will notice if you peruse my stash, my wardrobe, pretty much my home in general is that you will not find much in the way of pink.

I blame my parents. Back in the early 1970’s, when they bought the house I grew up in, they painted my bedroom a shade slightly lighter than Pepto Bismol. And my bedspread and curtains? Were pink and white gingham trimmed with rick-rack. So very, very girlie. So very, very not me.

So how, you might ask, do I explain this week’s yarn pr0n? When I was in Charlotte and stopped by Rainy Day Yarns with Aimee, she was looking for yarn to make a really cute pair of cabled gloves. (”Winter Gem” - The pattern is in the Fall issue of Cast On magazine). I decided I wanted to make them too.

Since my winter jacket has a pink lining, I decided to go for it - they should match! And I found this lovely heathered pink Cascade 220 that was an excellent match.

Aimee grabbed another hank for me the next day when I decided I wanted to make a hat to match, too. Of course, at the rate I’m going, I’ll have it done in time for, oh, Winter of 2027?

Have a great weekend!
