Fair warning: colors seem to be way off from how they're represented on the website. I ordered Pixie dust which looks blue, cream, and brown on the site. It's blue, pale pink, minty green, cream, and brown. confused Now I have to figure out what to do with it as it is totally not my color preference.

It feels really soft though...just not sure what I'll use it for. I'm not a pastel person at all. sweatdrop

If I were to try another colorway, I'd buy a colorcard for this first. I never have such color accuracy problems except with KP.


Ouch!

I'm waiting for 9/5 so I can order Seven Dwarves, Wicked Stepmother, and Evil Stepmother.

According to the website, they aren't selling color cards until 8/31/08. How cruel!

From this picture, I see the light green in Pixie Dust.

That one is a different picture then they had up when I ordered and is a much better representation of the color.

I found it linked from the blog in the first post.

Here's another:

Well, that settles it. I'll just have to get some as soon as my yarn diet is up. mrgreen


Thanks again for posting this! I love your gaming mushroom throw pattern on Ravelry! heart


Thankee!

Also, FYI for everyone: Knitpick's apparently receives their stuff off cargo ships, not flight, which is why it's both cheap and takes forever to restock. But they very rarely underestimate their restock times. Hell, often it's available early! (If you're not late to the party, so to speak. wink )

lol I never look at the KP blog. I had already seen imagination on the site and didn't even bother clicking the link. Would have saved me some money and some trouble, that's for sure.
