casting on road trip

well i'm headed out on a car trip to western colorado with my mom this "weekend" (when work schedules you to work on the actual weekend and gives you other days off you just go with it right? just makes it confusing when you talk to the rest of the world.) anyway... headed up around abouts of steamboat. theres supposed to be a pretty drive between meeker and yampa apparently. who would have known? and maybe it will be a bit cooler too. i've heard the wildflowers are gorgeous right now. maybe i'll be able to take some good photos. and since i'll be stuck in the car for hours i'm planning to cast on for bad penny with my peachy caramia see stash below and maybe i'll cast on honeymoon as well. i think it would be pretty in the candy blue cottonease i picked up at the insanely marked down clearance at joann the other day. i love clearance yarn. you feel like you could buy the whole store sometimes :)

Did you re-cast on for the Tempting? clearance yarn is wickedly easy to go beserk over. just ask stacey.

Yep, that is true. Re: jumping in on the bandwagon late. Did you ever recast on for Tempting? Just wondering. Will you be doing a contrast color for Bad Penny at the top and bottom of it? If so, what color? Something variegated would be really cute as an accent color? I do like the Bad Penny pattern.
