That Grey

I made another colourset yesterday!  

I have only two more rows of this lush blue and I can start the bottom ribbing.  Yippee!

I have only one regret.  I wish I had picked the darker of my two grey's as my main colour.

You can see them here.  The dark grey with the red and the lighter grey with the purple.  My strong contrast heart wants to use the dark because I like it better,  but, and it is a big one, I want to save the dark for using with some Kauni I have.  I chose to use the lighter grey to conserve the dark.  The lighter grey was a sort of oops purchase.  I thought I had the darker grey colour number but alas.  That lighter grey has never really had a plan.  I thought this would be a good place to use it.  

Yes, I could have sent it back and reordered the right colour, but I never do that.  Ever.  It has always seemed silly to me, to return yarn.  There is always a way to use it.  Hats.  Mitts.  Small things if nothing else comes along.  And so, I ended up with an entire bag of lighter grey Palette. ** 

I did order some needle tips.  Part of my needle problem is that I am finding wood tips are working better thse days.  With my bit of familial hand shaking, a metal needle feels unstable.  Losing that 4.5 mm tip is a big loss, but I have never had a lot of tips in 4.5 or 5 mm and above.  I had a few but not the whole range.  I ordered 2 wood tips in each 4.5 and 5 mm.  

I ordered some yarn too.  But then you knew that.  I can't wait till it comes.  New yarn.  There is a wee squeal of joy in my soul.  

**  This was a choice made a very long time ago. The yarn has been in my stash, as have all my lovelies, for a long time.
