Favorite color combos

My new favorite color combos are dusty pink and brown, and Tiffany blue and brown. These combos are just so YUMMY!

A few weeks ago, I was in one of my favorite local yarn shops, just minding my own business, when all of a sudden I spied a gorgeous brown sweater with dusty pink collar, cuffs, and waist detail! It was stunning, cute, cuddly...all good adjectives. There was just one unfortunate thing about it: it was knitted for a two-year-old. Now, because I'm neither 2, nor the size of a two-year-old, I couldn't just pluck it up, buy it, and treasure it forever; but I could, and did, buy some of the yarn with which it had been made.

The brown yarn is a lovely Jo Sharp yarn in a classic brown, and the pink, oh, the dusty pink, how I love thee! The pink is a nubbly and soft yarn in about the same gauge.

Now, the shop had enough pink in my estimation for big-girl sweater cuffs, collar, and waist detail, so I bought four balls of the pink.

The shop did not have enough brown for a sweater for me, so I bought one ball of the brown so that I could search other sources for enough yarn, but have the exact brown to match.

Just look at this combination. Isn't it a chocolate-covered cherry?
