While she was there she visited the Felicia Lo's studio, Sweet Georgia Yarn.
Susan and I are big fans of Sweet Georgia Yarns. The have amazing base yarns and incredible colors. Both Susan and I have designed patterns from her yarn.
I asked if she would mind picking me out some yarn while she was there, as she was already going to be buying lots of yummy-ness anyway. I couldn't wait to see what treasures she would find there!
I said to her in a cryptic message on Ravelry:
"Think teals / purples / greys. Think rich and yummy - a bit of contrast between the balls so that you can see the changes within a few stitches or rows but not enough to be tacky. A really nice silvery grey ball and a semi solid to go with. . . purple or teal. Think a delish shawl with a pop of color for winter . . . like grey, grey, grey, oh my TEAL! (or purple) . . ah I'm not worried, you have great taste."
Fortunately Susan knows me well enough to see where I was going with my idea.
I love the subtle-ness of the semi-solid colorways. I bought two skeins of Malabrigo Sock that matched perfectly with these two - I just can't wait to get started on this project.
