Last night we went to the Durham Fair - always fun. Today we ran errands and planted bulbs for the spring. And now, resting. I should try to get a little jump on lesson plans, but I really just want to knit!!
And since this is most likely the last really warm (shorts) weekend, here's a shot of my successful sunflower plant (I had to replant them twice due to bunnies)
And on to the help - I am planning to make Flora (KnityFall'05) for my brother's girlfriend for Christmas. I'm looking at yarns at jimmybeanswool.com. I have found the Rowan wool cotton in Rich&Berry. I'm looking at the Rowan Kidsilk Haze (instead of Crystal Palace Kid Merino, because I could buy them all at once) - but which color? Blushes? Splendor? Liquer? CandyGirl? Please help me decide!

Love your sunflower! One of my neighbors had sunflowers this year with morning glory vines growing up them - it was so pretty!
Oh, and P.S. - great name for your blog. :)
i love that scarf too! it is soo neat looking... cute pic of jackson!!! he looks full grown now!
Mmm, Wool Cotton, my fave!
All the KSH colors are so nice - it really depends on what look you're going for. Do you want a color match, a tonal contrast, or something a bit kickier?
Or you could use Kidsilk Spray and get subtle variegation. It may have been the light (or my poor eyesight), but I could barely see the changes in the skeins I've looked at - I imagine they'd be lovely when knitted up.
