I need to change my favorite color

My Favorite Color Has Changed
This will probably come as no surprise to those I knit with, but I was just studying my stash of sock yarn for what comes next after I finish my second Sock of Kindness. It dawned on me... every skein/hank/ball of yarn in my sock yarn stash has either raspberry pink, red, orange or brown in it.

I thought my favorite color was green! (scratches head)

I do love green, but I'm coming to realize I don't like to WEAR green. Apparently muted green is my favorite color for decorating (or so I think... I have no green walls in my home (scratches head again)... but I don't often wear green.

Hmmmm. I wonder what this means. My children may be devastated. There are certain constants in this life. Every night they sleep, they wake up to a new day. When they are hungry, there is a meal waiting. When they fall down, there is a hug waiting. And when they ask their mother what her favorite color, she ALWAYS says green.

What do I say NOW?

Heh! I do the same; I also realize that there are some unflattering shades of green that would be impossible for me to wear, so I always SAY green but sure have a lot of reds and oranges in my sock yarn stash!

LOVE your sock yarns and am lusting after the Claudia's Peppermint Mocha.
