babette.

we've fallen in love hard with a color/crochet project - babette:

thing is, it's the concept of the process which has us hooked (oh, the pun...). purl soho has the most beautiful blog - purlbee, which covers their makings of babette, and an interview and mini tutorial with babette designer kathy merrick.
we had fun checking out purl soho's kpm yarn and playing with colour combinations:

however the concept of buying and shipping canadian yarn via new york seems kinda weird when we're suckered by the concept of the knittery yarns:

there's other combos that we wouldn't mind playing with - for example, the all white babette is interesting in how different it looks compared to the others. what if there were super subtle differences in the yarn shades? (just realised - the creator is suggesting that they wished they had...)
