Episode 27: Color Me Badd

Episode 28: Color Me Badd (32:15)

We talk about our color palettes, how color influences our knitting choices, and why we buy when we buy.

Color Me
We talk about what colors we obsess over and what turns us off, then wonder what color season each of us might be.

Badd
We buy. Here's why.

Peruvia
O-Wool
Our recent binge may be related to some of the following:

• Release of new magazines
• Certain LYSOs elicit the desire to buy
• Going to a new LYS
• Feeling virtuous for not buying? Then buy!
• Suckers for a sale
• Nicole deliberates; Jenny is more of an impulsive buyer

I've entered a "buncha" stuff over at the flickr site. I know you "suggested' we not buy the one skein book, however I've bought both one skein wonders and one skein and have been knitting up quick and easy projects. I love this. Its a break from lace and colorwork! Anyway enjoy the photos. Its funny, I usually don't enter contests, however this week i"ve entered two (2). I love the podcast. Great work!

I think it's interesting you organize your clothes by color. I organize mine by what they are: tshirt tanks, nice tanks, lacy short sleeve blouses, nice short sleeves, short sleeve sweaters, etc. It's a little neurotic but it does help when I'm getting dressed in the morning. I can always tell fairly soon if what I want is in the laundry or not. :)
