I bought this yarn on ebay. The price was excellent and I love, love, love the yarn this company puts out. I've been dying to try my hand at making the sitcom chic cardigan. It's the most complicated pattern I've ever attempted, but I feel up to the challenge.

My issue is, that the actual colour of the yarn is slightly... lime-y-er than it appears here. I was hoping for more of a muted spring green. This colour is rather brighter. It's actually... well, like the colour shown on the company's website. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a pretty enough colour and I'm making the sweater, regardless, but... my mother described it as "old-lady green". My father calls it "kelly green". Both of these descriptions displease me greatly. My mom amended her statement thusly: "It's like something from South Beach."

This does not help me.

It is not old-lady green. It's... it's hip, dammit. HIP! Or, at least, not old-lady-ish.

Someone tell me I'm right. Because, goddammit, I'm gonna make this sweater and wear this sweater and love this sweater. And I'm going to call it "spring green" in my head. It makes me feel better.
