I'm Going After Knit Picks With a Camera and Proper Lighting

Two massive boxes of yarn arrived this week. One was stuffed to the brim (it literally exploded when I opened it) with Lion Jiffy, and the other was from the binger about a week ago. And of course, i've been dupped by Knit Picks AGAIN. Behold the recent purchase (a mini-version, of course):



I love the Pumpkin/Gloss and Cinnamon/Andean Silk, but that "Coal" is not as it appears on the site AT ALL (although it seems there are new pictures there today. GAH!). With the flash it looks sorta grey, like it used to online, but it is definitely jet-black in person. I'm debating sending it back for a lighter color, or holding onto it for a future project. I sort of hate the post office so the latter of the two sounds more appealing.

I'm also harboring a mad-love for buttons these days:



The toggles are for Glee and the small irridecent ones are for jazzing up a blouse but the rest, Uh, they were purty?

keep the extra you'll never know when you need it for trimming or adding a little something!

That totally sucks. I'm always wary when ordering online. I get skeerd!

I just got a big yarn shipment from knitpicks too! Part of that order was Gloss too, but in brown (lovely!)

And I agree with the color issue...I ordered a navy blue once and it was completely and utterly black! so frustrating.

purtyness is reason enough if you ask me! ;-)
