Apparently, I like purple

This weekend I just started on Tulip, a cute little cross-over summery top that I hope to finish in time to wear for late summer/early fall that often drags on into October here in Texas. (It has a cool little scalloped edging you get by rotating the left needle around the previous rows...)

The yarn is a nice linen, viscose blend in a slightly variegated plum. Suddenly ,I realized it's almost the exact same color as this hand-dyed mohair blend I bought in Maine over the holidays. I made a flowy droopy-neck sweater from Interweave that is packed away for the summer.

Add a little pink and you get the color of my Seaman's Scarf WIP...

Then, I think to the next sweater I have planned and the Berocco Ultra Alpaca that I bought for the next one on my list...

And, as I walk by the kitchen taking photos of my work, I notice tonight's dinner... pork chops with plum sauce (tastes better than it looks here).

Apparently, I like purple.
