It’s no secret that Amanda and I are partial to green and orange – they are the Knit Social colours after all.  I especially love orange, and Amanda is keen on green (Sorry, I couldn’t resist that).

I wear it all the time, I have orange furniture, and most importantly I buy orange yarn. I buy so much orange yarn in fact that I made a New Years resolution this year to branch out a little when selecting the colour for a new knitting project.

These are my most recent FO’s, and some amazing orange yarn that I just got in the mail from Spincycle Yarns.
