The Influence of Others
Yesterday, I felt like E of PokingMyEyesOut was a heavy influence on me.
Check out the palette I worked in yesterday:

[DH's first plain ol' black sock is started and Tovesta is onto the second ball.]
But I do keep petting this yarn from Dave at Cabin Cove, which is about as far from black/charcoal as you can get:

Yum!
way. too. funny!
Great progress at last on those socks for the DH. And, yeah, I *so* do not *do* black and charcoal. Odd, I know. It’s not manly enough for me. (As someone I worked with once said, “It takes a man who’s REALLY secure with his sexuality to wear THAT in public, dude.” So, yeah, I do’t own a single pair of black socks.
