No knitting to report on—This winter
is going to be a record breaker—for hardly being a winter at all.
Yesterday it was breezy, but so warm
(60°/16°)it was more like late April than the beginning of
February! I was out and about, doing nothing special—and not
knitting. No knitting when I got home either. My socks, untouched,
my sweater vest collection dust.
That will change today—I've decided
on a plan for the sleeves—and I'll get it finished today.
Meanwhile—in reference to the
title—Look at this!
Isn't it just as lovely? I have no
idea of what I will wear with the socks I eventually make from this
yarn, but OH, they will be lovely! My weird colors—work! A base
of light apricot, the spot of deep reddish purple, rosy crimson,
sunny yellow orange—I love how nature mashes together the most
wonderful colors!
I am a firm believer in there is
nothing new—we just re-create that which already exists—over and
over again. For sure, this is not a creative color way, it is an
imitative one—But that doesn't make it any less beautiful. I'll
ball it up an then divide it, and re-ball it, latter today. I don't
have any empty sock kit bag for it go in—January's socks are still
not done—but I think this yarn will be for summer socks (not socks
to wear in the summer, but socks to knit in the summer)--I'll enjoy
sweet juicy nectarines, as I knit my nectarines color way socks.

It is a great color! Or several colors. Sweet and juicy!
You're right about those colors, just like a fully ripe nectarine. Gorgeous! The socks will be beautiful.
I'm not knitting either. I think a lot about it, but have no time! Life got too busy but things will settle down a few weeks from now.
Helen, did you dye it? It's gorgeous!
Seeing is believing! Just listing the colors sounds odd, but seeing them in the skein is amazing. Just beautiful!
Now you'll have to make a new outfit to go with your socks. 8)
