So much for my "diet"

Great way to break a diet!

Higs, Katherine

rotfl.... breaking ^that^ kind of diet is A-OK! Laughing about you and the PINK, if it totally makes you pukish, I'LL do it! (I can handle pink, grin) Noreen

Hi Wooly,

That's one thing I would never attempt to do, go on a yarn diet especially when AC Moore keeps having great sales like all the yarn was

Hugs,

Nora

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll manage. I will have to do some therapy knitting (purple scarf for me? Kureyon vest for me? loud-ass socks for me?) to counter the pink, however, and I certainly won't work on it before bed lest I have nightmares. My not-so-small-boy chose the color and asked me to make it up as a Mothers' Day gift for his Meemaw, though I did have to redirect him to some acceptable yarn. Its hard to refuse the boy when he sugars me up. I'm a sucker for a redhead, I guess :D

I just don't know what I have against pink. Maybe my mother stuffed me into one too many Shades of Pepto frilly frocks when I was a toddler and couldn't resist? Or all the Barbies she gave me for Christmas and birthdays when I wanted GI Joes and capguns made me resentful of anything pink Maybe I was frightened by the pink voluptuousness of a Georgia O'Keefe painting when I was an infant (has she been around that long?)? Maybe my mother had a close encounter with a pink Chevy when she was pregnant with me? [I don't like Chevy vehicles OR pink now that I think about it.]

Back to your regularly scheduled rainy Saturday afternoon

Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...

ah well, we have other things in common, I guess! I AM a Chevy gal, lol! But, I know you won't hold it against me, grin! Noreen who FINALLY is starting Terri's second sock.... these have been the socks from HELL... that and I've been having headaches...... (dark green ragg sox)

LOL ... sorry but I was just sitting here picturing you dining on small skeins of pink fluffy yarn, a bite of green wool and several strands of peach fuzz. LOL!!

I avoided pastels whenever possible for decades, because they always made me feel like a little girl who had to make sure her sash was tied straight behind her back. I still basically don't wear pink. Mom didn't force me into frilly dresses, I liked them, but I just always had this feeling that pastels were something you outgrew. I'm changing my mind now that my increasingly whitening hair is making me look washed-out in the deep shades I like...but still no pink.
