Today’s “Stitching Blogger’s Question” was suggested by Dianne and is:
If you have stitched for a while, can you usually pick out the DMC colors you need from memory when you go to your LNS? (For example, you know that 610 is a brown.)
Hmmm… I’m intrigued by this question. First, my LNS is more than 30 minutes away and anyone who knows my lifestyle (work myself to exhaustion, come home, eat, vegetate/watch t.v./stitch, then go to bed, REPEAT) knows that I don’t go there. It is part of what helps to keep me on the wagon when I can manage to stay on it. 😉 Now, having just visited ACMoore this evening because it was the last day of their 6 for $1 sale on DMC floss skeins, I know I’ve been saving up one mother of a list of DMC that I needed. I bought over 50 skeins, as I’ve been putting it off for some time. So, for me, can I pick out the DMC I need from memory? Gosh no! Do I have a general concept of what color families are what? Sure. Do I have a color card to help me match colors? You bet your bippy! Not sure that answers the question, but since I’m not sure what the impetus behind it was, that’s the best you’re going to get. 😆
