Carole's 10 on Tuesday this week was to list 10 favorite Things that are Green. My birthday is a few days before St. Patrick's Day, which has led some people to think that green should be my favorite color. I do not follow the logic of that notion, but it has haunted me most of my life. I look sickly if I wear it, don't care for it in my decor, and think nature is the best place for it. Let the trees, lawns, veggies, and flowers have it, but (of course), if you like it, you can have green, too!
Red hot red is more my style, which means I was super excited to open a package today and find I was the recipient of Cindy's secret project!
Look at that red! And the nice soft yarn! Are you turning green with envy? Oh Cindy, you really shouldn't have, but I love them, and will cherish them, and will wear my lovely Ragtops all the time.
So PERFECT for you! Red + Ragtops = WIN

I love red, too, and those remind me of the Ragtops you knit for me!

Aww, I adore red, but think you should give some love to green simply because, in my opinion, it would look good on you!

Beautiful Red Ragtops! I love ragtops and the red is perfect! So very cheery!

Totally agree on the green thing...tho' I'm trying to wear something for St Patrick's day, as I'm tired of getting pinched (it will be heavily countered with black so it might just work!). But those red mitts? WOW! They're gorgeous and perfect for you...how very sweet of Cindy!
(((hugs)))

I do love green in all things (even yarn), but those red mitts are perfect! They'll make brisk morning walks a little brighter.

You're haunted by green and I'm haunted by rabbits :-D *sigh* I'm glad it's compliment found you. Those look like fabulously squishy companions for an early morning walk!

Love my Ragtops -- it's all I've been wearing this winter! (Obviously, I'm not in charge of the outdoor winter chores around here.) LOVE THEM!
