The other day, we read the word grey in a story at school…one of my brightest students asked me what it was….so then we had a mini-lesson on the different spellings of words depending on what country you might be in…
I wandered by gray country at Rhinebeck…truly I did not know there were this many shades of grey…it was amazing….
This were all on sale from Tess’ Designer Yarns. She seemed to be doing a pretty brisk business…and I thought about purchasing a skein or two….they felt really nice….but three things stopped me…
1. No prices listed, you had to ask a sales rep and they read it from a sheet…(I hate that!)
2. There was a bit of a line…I was all for avoiding lines at all costs…
3. I got distracted by the disco ball, when I turned around….this meant I was by Red Maple Sportswear, which was Rhinebeck Bingo Headquarters and the makers of these:
I wore gray though out my sophomore year of high school…I really like the color grey….but ya’ know shiny things, they do distract….
And when I saw all this grey/gray, it made me think of mooncalfmakeswho has admired a grey skein or two..
Strangely enough, I bounce from phases where I can't get enough colour, to my monochrome phase ... and I love grey, too. It is such an interesting colour, from kind of an anthracite near-black to a soft blueish dove grey (yes, I said it: grey!)
ReplyDeleteOh wow I *do* like grey. Well, I like knitting with other colours too but I seem to end up getting most use out of the finished knits that are in grey or other neutral colours...
ReplyDeleteI don't like having to ask the price of things either. I can't understand why they'd do that? Surely it is worth getting a few price stickers to avoid embarrassing people who have to ask the price?
