While I am working my way through the last of a forest of cream colored stitches, hoping that I can will my way through the last very long row of the crochet border of Lotus and still have time to get the sweater assembled before leaving on my island vacation, I am dreaming of a little color.
I am not quite finished with my first Vesper sock, but that could not stop me from finding a bit more to add to my stash. The lovely pinks, purples and yellow of the appropriately named "Jelly Bean" colorway will become stripey warm leggings for a little girl, come fall. Simple tubes with ribbed openings, I know the colors will delight her.
The mini-skein kit is destined to be another pair for me, but configured differently. After taking these pictures, I was struck by how well these 4 colorways go together. I can't tell you why I think so, but I think Julia's got incredible color sense. I can easily imagine how these striping yarns will play together.
Perhaps they will come to the island along with me? I am just beginning the process of thinking about what projects I will bring along. My goal is to travel light, knowing that I always over estimate how much I am motivated to work on while I am listening to the waves roll in.

I love the brightness of the colors in the Vesper sock kit. I think for me the reason the colors go so well together is that they contain a lot of saturated color of similar value. At least one color matches in each mini skein (the robins egg blue, the spring green, the petal pink and the orange).
Those are lovely vibrant colors. What cheerful leggings they'll make! Hope you have a wonderful vacation.
Those are some amazing colours - I'm sure they'll make fantastic socks!
I think that part of the brilliance is that those yarns can be combined in any order & look great. They look wonderful the way you have them but you could switch them around & they'd still look good.
