Sock Camp: Colors Part I
On Monday I'm heading to Sock Camp, and one of our homework assignments this year is to think about color: "To prepare for this I want you for the week or so before Camp to pay very close attention to the colors in your world. Look closely at what you have surrounded yourself with; wall color, furniture, clothing even your car color-wise. Pay attention to how being in places where a certain color is predominant makes you feel."
Well, as we learned last week with my stash pictures, I have a very obvious favorite color or two - blue and purple (usually blue-purple). This isn't confined to my yarn either.
This skein of Miss Babs yarn is a pretty good example of my favorite colors.
And, with a little peek into my closet you'll notice that black plays a big role in my wardrobe, but the other predominant colors are blue and purple.
Another one of my favorite bits of color (and evidence that I've actually hung my pictures in my new apartment!) is a painting a friend made for me.
And, as you can see by the date, these colors have been constant for a while. My wall color is sort of beige, but I didn't pick that.
I used to have a host of blue electronics - iPod, Palm Pilot, phone, the list goes on... Now I just have an iPhone, which is black. However my couch is blue, my backpack, laptop bag, and Timbuk2 bag are all blue, my new dishes are blue, my bedding is blue, and today I'm wearing head to ankle blue (black shoes). Basically, if it comes in blue when I buy it, I buy blue. If someone else is buying stuff for me, they know to buy blue.
I always find it a little confusing when people *cough MJ cough* don't have a favorite color. I mean, how would you know what color yarn to buy them?
So stay tuned soon for the colors I'm not comfortable with (pretty much any other color!) In fact, if I'm lucky some of these colors will be illustrated by my most recent finished pair of socks.
P.S. Then MJ reminded me that I have a lot of blue shoes...

The blue-in-my-shade shoes, the second from the right. The mary janes with the elastic on them-- who makes them?
Are you going to explain your hate of brown? ;)
At least you are consistent!
