Color

“The colors you wear are so drab, so muted,” the 14-year-old girl told me last time I was there. I looked at her in that bright green and purple skirt and brown tank top and smiled. “My wardrobe may not have much color, but that maybe because all the brightness is in my head.”

With her in mind, I picked up two different colors of yarn yesterday, for two different projects, specifically for me. One for a sweater and the other a scarf. Perhaps by the time they are finished I'll be on her island teaching her how to knit in bright colors (with cotton yarn as the tropics will be too warm for wool.)
