Things to Ponder

I'm not entirely sure I washed all the conditioner out of my hair when I took a shower...

Anyway, I'm getting my first package ready for my swapperooni. So far I have three kinds of yarn. My brother wants me to start knitting hats for him to sell! I'm going to convince him that I need a couple skeins for myself because I've been purchasing yarn for all these Christmas projects and not myself. Except for four skeins of Bulky Alpaca... OOH, I have some left! oh wait, I'm going to make that a blanket for my Grossephine.

So the yarn on the left is from my latest haul and I was hoping they were wonderful autumny colors instead I can't decide if I like them or not. What do you guys think? I am going to make mitts (basically mittens without the top) and I don't entirely know if it would be worth it to send the yarn back and exchange it for a different color. Or return it and buy some from a site that has a better representation of the color (i'm a little mad at WEBS right now...)

Also, the store isn't going to be updated for a little while. I'm trying to decide where to go from here with Haworth Hand-Dyed Yarn. I think what I'm going to start doing is setting up an actual domain name for people to purchase the yarn as well as my other hand knits. I'm saving up some money to make a huge haul of yarn to dye. My friends and I created "Three Peas" in November and since hten I'm really the only one who makes things to sell. I think I'm going to just take it off on my own. I'm definitely going to be busy making mitts and hats soon, but I need to buckle down and finish some of the projects I started. Primarily my Puff Sleeved Cardigan.

Opinions on the color of yarn and what to do about the store?

Also, I updated my reading blog a couple days ago. I'm almost done reading Farenheit 451!

I'm not so sure about that color either...it's almost muddy looking in the pic. I might exchange it. Depends.

I just bought conditioner today...finally! I was out. :D

I love that colorway... Reminds me of grape jelly. Call customer service, let them know your thoughts. They're great like that. :)

I don't think I like that color much. Hattie's right it looks muddy. Something about it, just doesn't strike me as particularly pretty.

I would test sample for you in a second! Your yarn is beautiful!
