Django socks and yellow

Last spring I had a problem with the color green. I wanted to make everything in green. Every yarn I picked out was green. A new color has snuck up on me: yellow. It started with a yellow bag. Then I bought some yellow hemp. Then I bought some yellow cotton. I was winding yarn the other night and saw this on the dining room table:


hmm... subliminal yellow.

The hemp is Hemp for Knitting allhemp6 in Dijon. I'm making the everlasting bagstopper, shown above on left. Plastic needles, hemp = good beach knitting. Thanks Lisa!! On the right is a Wicked for me in my favorite cotton yarn Premiere. It's like butter and doesn't at all feel like other cottons. Knitting with cotton to me feel like ass. Premiere = not like ass. ;)

Django socks are done. They've been done for well over a week, but I kept forgetting to sew up one toe. So here they are:




Pretty good stuff.

I think yellow is one of those colors that requires a bit of sophistication to appreciate. ;-)
