"Your favorite color is yellow."

I actually don't have a favorite color. I just can't pick one. I have color moods where I just become obsessed with a certain color or color scheme for awhile until I become obsessed with a different one. Sometimes it's a seasonal thing, but most times I have no idea where my color moods come from.  They're just... moods.

When I bought this yarn, I was deep into a yellow mood. I just wanted some yellow socks and it had to be this certain exact shade of yellow and nothing else would do. I spent literally hours in my local yarn store going back and forth between shades of yellow- truth be told I didn't want to buy this yarn because I wanted something less expensive and with a higher nylon content- but alas it had to be this one because this was the shade I'd been craving for weeks. 

As soon as I finished these socks I was reminded of the time I met a good friend's daughter for the first time.  She was about 5 or 6 years old and had that awesome little girl sassyness that only little girls can get away with and still be considered cute. She told me she was going to draw me a picture and asked me what my favorite color was and I told her I didn't really have one- that I loved them all. She nodded once and ran off to draw me my picture. A few minutes later she came back with a picture of me wearing a yellow tutu and announced- with perfect seriousness, "Your favorite color is yellow." 

And so it is... For today anyway. 

The main color is called Egg Yolk and the contrast color is called Kelp- which doesn't sound all that appetizing, but at least it looks pretty. The yarn is Hedgehog Fibers and it's kind of a pain to work with, but I think it's worth it. These socks actually hug my feet. 

Unfortunately the camera just can't capture the awesomeness that is this color. It really is the exact color of egg yolks.
