New Colors for Fall

Aren't these gorgeous? ! I am very eager to try them all, but i confess that it is Carlsbad
that i most want to knit to see what it does... then next.... hmmm Santa Fe is gorgeous, but so is Cacao Menta, and so is Turquoise 'n Copper! that littleE bit of green there is like Malachite too, also often found in copper mines - famous one in Wales that's well over 5000 yrs old!

The Taos line is HERE

I confess it makes lovely socks, and i need to share a picture of one with you. Other wonderful Taos patterns are HERE

i think it's fun to change needle sizes and do a quicker knit... like socks, scarves, or ....
who knows??

AND of course w/ a DK wt there are silky shells and all sorts of fun ideas to anticipate!
