I like bamboo yarns. I have tried a few and the only problem I have is
the twist, it likes to come untwisted as I knit with it. I have
learned to redo my hold for it to be easier. I think it's a personal
thing.
I had to laugh about the black socks and talking them into something
else. Everytime I talk to my SIL's about knitting anything for them ,
they ask for it in black, I always tell them no, picka color or
pattern. I find knitting or crocheting all in black is depressing. Not
only is it harder to see, but just staring at all that black is mental
for me and I tend to end up dislikeing the project or the thoughts I
have when doing the project. SO I have banned all black knitting I
will do stripes , carryalongs or color work that includes black , but
not all of it.


She is also what I call a bland dresser...no bright colors...all muted and
dull IMO....now I like lots of colors...they cheer me up...I have several
shirts I call my Happy Shirts and soon will have some happy socks tooG

I am glad you got purchases you like , it sounds like you had fun.
