Pink. Everywhere.

I have been busy making stuff. But I guess too busy to share!  I received a bunch of pink merino with rainbow nylon in it and I have been contemplating its use. So I spun up a single of the pink, and a single of various other colours and blends of fibre one after another, to see what each segment would look like knitted. After I plied them, I already had a sense ofmy favourite combinations.  Totally love it with white, and with itself!
Here is the baby skein drying after setting and thwacking:
At the same time, I also set this one:  a Corriedale dyed aqua and red. I n-plied this one on the fly:

Random photo of my rack of handspun stuff. More pink. 
I dream of pink as a flash of colour in natural fibre colours. So mittens made in natural wool with one row of pink somewhere. I dunno. We'll see!
