I've never been much of a pink girl. Anyone who knew me as a kid could tell you that I avoided pink like nobody's business. I was a tom boy who preferred comfort over frills and tree climbing more than tea parties. My sister had those things covered, thanks.
I loved blue and green, and I think that I always will choose those colors over others. But lately a disturbing trend has been noticed. Pink has snuck into my wardrobe. I have a few pink shirts and even a pink sweater! Heck, I even have a pink earring/necklace set that is way too cute. But I'm still a little hesitant about pink and I think that's part of the reason why I chose to do March's Project Spectrum in all pink. It was going to be a challenge!
The pink sock yarn was a Jimmy Beans Wool purchase from last summer and it is making up into some really luscious socks. The big pink scarf yarn was a Christmas gift from Mom & Dad who knew how much I had been drooling over that yarn when my sister used it to make her first scarf. It was a dream to work with and the most touchy feely yarn ever. And the burgandy yarn was a gift from my Secret Pal and Mom really wants to steal this from me.
I don't know that I'll ever be that pink-loving girly girl... but I'm a little step closer!

Everything looks so pretty. In Pink. Sorry, couldn't resist. I do love the socks--they're just sweet.
Wow! Pinkalicious! :)
I love the Baby Alpaca Grande. Who makes that yarn? Might need to stock up on that for Christmas gifts. It looks as though it would make a great "My So Called Scarf."
I'm in the same place you are! I was always a tomboy and hug out with my brothers and their friends. Heck, I'm still one of the guys, but I'm starting to realize pink won't actually melt my skin...lol
