Yarn! It’s lovely, isn’t it? The purple (or as my boyfriend insists, red – but he’s a bit color blind, we’ll just go with it) yarn is going to turn into this hat, and the orangey color is for just because I wanted it. Always an excellent reason to buy yarn.
I need to find a place with better lighting to take pictures of this stuff. Things always seem to look a bit…. off…. In fact, in this shot the purple does look rather red, but I assure you it is not!

Knit Picks Swish Superwash in Bordeaux, and Knit Picks Shine Worsted in Terra Cotta.

Edit: My mom also claims the bordeaux to be red. I just don't know anymore.... whatever color it is, it's pretty and I like it.
