Healthy Candy Floss

It contains a lot of fiber and should be the healthiest thing to not eat... Or something like that. Candy floss is totally sticky and yet so nice to get on your fingers, clothes and every thing else while eating it.

Anyway, this is not about sugar but something almost as sweet. For some time now I have been thinking about the color pink. And that should probably qualify to some condition that would make the medicine companies rich.

But I tend to make the yarn companies rich instead. This time the norwegian mill Rauma. I really love the fact that we have a proper norwegian yarn company supplying knitters with gorgeous colors and great quality (no, I am not sponsored).

So, since pink thoughts are somewhat annoying they have to be taken seriously. I found that wonderful magenta in my stash and went off to my local yarn store. Finding two pink fluffy skeins of mohair was just what I wanted for my intended color.

Since I am knitting baby gifts right now I needed something that would knit up fast, have a sort of new color to me and would keep me bright pink during winter. I cast on three stitches and increase one stitch every other row. Nothing to it, but this is soft, warm and pink. I must add that a pair of really pink Dr Martens boots will be added to this shawl. More about that later.

So many colors and still so much to learn about it. And still I find new ones that fit.

Never underestimate a color - it could be the one to make you look younger, fresh and spark your energy.
