my nephew, erik, asked me at christmas to knit him a hat! wow, i was excited - someone was actually asking me to knit something for them - i wasn't having to foist my goodies on others disguised as gifts!!
anyhoo, he asked that the hat be "dark cream". all right then, i thought, that will be easy until i really began to think about the color dark cream - what exactly would be a dark cream? a coffee with lots of cream? i knit the first hat in what i felt was the darkest cream that i could find at my lys, a wonderful dk australian yarn, cleckheaton 'county'. just yummy to knit up! as i was knitting i started wondering if this really was what one would call "dark cream" - maybe it was just too light so onto hat #2 - knit with patons 'classic wool' in natural. now i'm wondering if it isn't too dark!
oh well, i'm shipping these off to erik today and he can make the call!! i don't want to have to make such heady decisions - i just want to knit!!
