You have my sympathy about the yarn. Reds and purples are tricky for me since they depend greatly on the lighting. My eyes' lenses have aged yellow to where some reds look orange to me anyway, yet others still look very red and I wonder what they look like to other people. Lavender looks brown unless it is in daylight or under an Ott Light. I've thought of getting color tags made to sew into my clothing, but on the other hand I am usually indoors anyway. I have a tiny UV light which is sold for looking at modern money to make the UV lines show up, which I just realized might help reveal truer colors when shopping.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-6546611178116727992017-03-11T19:08:25.018+00:002017-03-11T19:08:25.018+00:00Like others, so glad you had the energy for market...Like others, so glad you had the energy for market, class, and a post for us. What is it about red yarn? Seems especially prone to changes with the light, and variations in the amount of yellow or blue in it make such a difference. To my own eye there are few colours as lovely as a very slightly blue red, but a search for it must definitely be hands-on, and in daylightBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568215693665518362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-42984464811615508332017-03-11T17:05:58.110+00:002017-03-11T17:05:58.110+00:00So glad you got to go.

I'm not going to make it this year - which is ridiculous as it's only about a mile away. But we are selling our house andmuch consumed by that at the moment - along with the small matter of finding somewhere new to live. Fingers crossed for this afternoon.

I was looking through my stash for something else and found three or maybe four yarns that I had bought to make myself some perfect red socks. Ugh. One is orange, one pink and one is some fuzzy yarn no one could ever make socks with and it's not red. I hope your dusty red turns out to be dusty red tomorrow.kayThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16814148805700778532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-19894484037646120152017-03-11T03:13:55.112+00:002017-03-11T03:13:55.112+00:00I checked anyway, although not expecting a post. ...I checked anyway, although not expecting a post.

Or that we would need to wait a day to hear about it.<br />Having been to Rhinebeck (I live in New York City) I can only imagine how wonderful this event was. I must go someday.<br /> Rhinebeck has all the trappings of a country fair with many sheep, goats and alpacas on view. You can attend judging and sheep dog trials.<br />And the yarn of course and many classes. <br />Happy knitting and I am hoping for a miracle on the oval tomorrow.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269757003909983034noreply@blogger.com
