Sometimes colors sneak up on me. I fully embrace my love of all the greens and rich purples, but other colors slide in over time. There's a pale blue that I've become a fan of, and yellow, of all the dasterdly colors is starting to grown on me, though it is decidedly of the Gluden's mustard variety.

But grey, grey has been wiggling its way into my stash for awhile and I just noticed. Oatmeal BFL is big for me, and that's a greyish brown. I think that's how grey got in. There are many natural greys that have brown in them, and that has become irrisistable. It was only a matter of time before I slid to steelier natural greys. Then it was a quick step to dyed greys, some are blue-ish, and I have a charcoal grey that I can see green in.

There is such a variety in greys, maybe more than brown. I guess it was inevitible. Plus it mixes and blends so well with so many colors, making them a little earthier. Do not speak to me of grellow, just no. Well, does Gluden's and that mossy charcoal count?

Two things this week brought grey irrevocably home for me. I had to buy t-pins. I have no idea where all of my t-pins are. I double-masked and did a quick dart into Joann's. A quick dart into Joann's includes grabbing some DMC floss that catches my eye. Behold my selection.

Two days later I got a fiber order from Into the Whirled. Shetland and silk, I was very excited, it looked so beautiful on the computer.

The colorway is Traveler, it is beautiful and mostly grey.
