Just to confirm that the colors for my NbaT really aren’t pink and blue and that I’m not trying to pull your leg, I snitched these color swatches off the internet (since my camera isn’t cooperating):

Coral on the left.

Khaki on the right.

Don’t they look great together? I wouldn’t have done anything with roughly equal amounts of color with the two of them, but with just the edging around the sleeve and the neck, I think the Khaki adds a nice accent to the Coral. Like I said, just different enough to be interesting without being weird (grin).

I bought my yarns, incidentally from Colourway in England. Even with the currently abysmal exchange rate, and the shipping, the price was cheaper than buying this from just about anywhere in the U.S. that I could find, and the service was wonderfully fast. I placed my order on a Thursday, and my yarn arrived on Tuesday. In New Jersey. From England. Over a weekend. Fast!

I finished reading “1776″ by David McCullough tonight. He tells such a good story and is a darn good historian. (Though, I read in an interview that he considers himself a writer who happens to write about history, not a historian.) Anyway, what I wanted to share? I came across two names that sound like something that JK Rowling would have made up: Albigence Waldo and Philip Fithian. Too funny, and yet real!
