So how is the thneed, why thanks for asking, it's going great. I especially love the colour, such a pretty soft grey. What your computer shows maybe, is it, red? No it is definitely grey because grey is all I want to knit at the moment, yep definitely grey. So anyway I am so happy knitting my gorgeous grey sweater........ Shut up it is too........... Look mate it is not my fault you need to get your eyes tested......... Its grey, grey, grey, grey, grey, GREY!
It's red.
Another red.
Damn stash busting. I am only knitting from my stash and in all my wisdom when I accumulated a majority of my stash I guess I figured that only knitting red was a good idea. I don't want red anymore I want grey, what was I thinking? I have at least another 2 sweaters worth of red, and lets not mention the "I am so bloody cheery orange". Be warned, another reason to keep the stash under control so you don't have to knit red when you want to knit grey.
It would be so pretty as grey though wouldn't it?.....................

Hi Tanya! I guess it has not occurred to you (indeed, I've only just figured this out myself) that the same thing that got us into excessive stash enhancement is also the way out: put a post on KR offering to trade some of your reds for greys. For my part, I have recently been stashing greys (heathered medium grey sport/fingering weight Peruvian baby alpaca, Frangipani guernsey 5-ply in greystone, Knitpicks Shine in cloud) that I am not certain I shall actually use (look great with my early summer tan, but how will they look in January?) Of course, it would be best if someone in NZ responded to your appeal; shipping from the US just became complicated and expensive. Time for me to back away from the computer and get knitting (in blue or purple)!
if you and the yarn want it to be grey - it is grey. what happens if you overdye red with black? do you get redish grey? see you wednesday
