One of my besties bought some new yarn and she wanted me to see it but said, " You are going to hate the color". It was a wonderful gray tweed color and I loved it. I think I may have given the impression that I hate all colors but pink. Not true, I love most colors. I do not care for blues, for reasons explained in earlier postings. Overall I do love all colors, especially gray. Gray to me, is clean and classy. I love gray because I think it looks beautiful on almost everyone. Since seeing her beautiful new gray yarn I decided that a special "After-Christmas" present is going to be knitted with some from my stash. I can't tell you what it is going to be because it is to be a surprise. (I will tell you more about the "After- Christmas" present next week)
I am knitting away on the gray item, which I know isn't part of the monogamy plan because I haven't finished my Socks of Kindness yet, but since it is a gift I gave myself some slack. I am also still working on the nephews blanket. I have about 4 more squares to go then it will be ready to be sewn together. I want to have it completed this weekend. Which means I really must turn off this movie which is now on its second round of being played via Netflix instant watch on my laptop. I need an intervention because I just can't stop watching it. Oh and the knits in it...insane! I want them all.
It is a beautiful movie that has been out since 2003 but for some reason just won't come out on DVD. When it does I am so there. For now I will just have to keep watching it on the laptop-which isn't bad. All this fun while munching away on my favorite cookies made by the number one little mom-thank you mom!
Ahhhh...
Happy crafting friends!

I like grey too - love it teamed up with denim!

Gray is the perfect color companion - she certainly trumps white or black because of the softness factor. She adds interest without being garish or diva-like. She is the perfect 'bridesmaid' for any outfit ~ I say bridesmaid because an entire outfit in gray can either be really class or really matronly. Few can pull it off, honestly... I know I can't.
As far as the movie ~ that was just cruel! LOL. You are going to make me have to subscribe to Netflix, aren't you? Wonder what prompted that choice, my Anglophile friend. LOL.

That movie has been in my queue for ages! Since you love it I'm sure I will too Gooso hopefully this weekend I'll get a chance to curl up and watch it (don't you love netflix on-demand?). Good luck with finishing all your projects.

Gray is so very Audrey Hepburn -- and that is just beauty --- plain & simply.
And thanks for the heads up on the movie -- a must for me to see!

I'm watching a lot of movies while I knit lately, so I added this one to my watching queue immediately - it looks charming! Thanks for the recommendation! Also, in case I haven't mentioned it before - I love your header!
