This is my confession

Okay. Here it is - I've been collecting Plucky Knitter Yarns so that I can knit a Color Affection shawl.  Plucky Knitter Primo! Fingering weight yarn to be exact.  Before I divulge how many I have, I want to note that the pattern needs 3 colors.  How many do I have, you ask? I have 7 colors.  Yes, I have 7 skeins of this yarn.
The middle color is Vanity
It all started with the purchase of the At Last kit.  This kit comes with the following colors: Bisque, Bashful & En Vogue.  The colors themselves are gorgeous, but I just don't really like the look of the color Bisque with the other two colors in the kit for the Color Affection pattern.  There just doesn't seem to be enough contrast between Bisque & Bashful, at least for me.

Then I acquired another kit: Blue Bayou.  Included with this kit are the following colors: Early Light, Something Blue & Bohemian Blue.  I should have stopped here because I really love this combination of colors.  But then I was torn because I really do love the colors in At Last, just minus the Bisque color.  I decided that at the next Plucky Knitter update that I would buy a final color to substitute into the At Last kit.  That last color was Vanity.

That is story of how I came to own 7 skeins of Plucky Knitter Primo! Fingering weight yarn.  The kicker is that I still haven't knit the shawl yet.  My plan is to finalize colors this weekend and cast on for the shawl.  Part of me is leaning towards knitting the Blue Bayou kit as it is, but I think I'm more interested in combining skeins from each kit.  For example, I kinda like the combination of Bohemian Blue, Bashful, & Vanity.  Or maybe combining Something Blue, Bisque, & En Vogue.  Hmmm. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
