Month of Love

Piles of wooly Easter Eggs
piles of wool, for a few early-90′s era couples

While brainstorming color ideas for new skeins, Hub and I started talking about being inspired by people and how some people just have a color associated with their personality or that in some way symbolizes them. This led to discussing if being part of a couple changes one’s color and soon we generated a list of famous couples (romantic or platonic; real people, characters in pop culture, etc) along with their colors.
In celebration of Valentine’s Day and inspired by couples the world over, I’ve been spinning this couple-inspired yarn. We’re calling this the Month Of Love series, at the end of it, I’ll have exhaustively explored the connection between personalities and color. For the next month, starting tomorrow, January 16 through V-day, February 14, I’ll be posting 1 new yarn/weekday.

However, my imagination (and my knowledge of pop culture) in limited and I need a few more couple-ideas to spin and/or dye. I think a contest is in order!pinklong

Contest Instructions:
Please leave a comment (to this post) with a couple (romantic or platonic, real or imagined) AND what colors you believe symbolize them. If I choose your couple, you will receive 25% off ANY 1 skein currently available in the shop. I’m having the entries left in the comments so that I don’t get duplicates, so be sure you’re posting a couple NOT already in the shop and NOT already mentioned by a previous commenter. There may be more than 1 winner, as I’ll probably choose more than 1 couple from the suggestions. Each commenter is limited to 1 suggestion, so make it a good one!
