First, my LNS is more than 30 minutes away and anyone who knows my lifestyle (work myself to exhaustion, come home, eat, vegetate\/watch t.v.\/stitch, then go to bed, REPEAT) knows that I don&#8217;t go there.  It is part of what helps to keep me on the wagon when I can manage to stay on it.  \ud83d\ude09  Now, having just visited ACMoore this evening because it was the last day of their 6 for $1 sale on DMC floss skeins, I know I&#8217;ve been saving up one mother of a list of DMC that I needed.  I bought over 50 skeins, as I&#8217;ve been putting it off for some time.  So, for me, can I pick out the DMC I need from memory?  Gosh no!  Do I have a general concept of what color families are what?  Sure.  Do I have a color card to help me match colors?  You bet your bippy!  Not sure that answers the question, but since I&#8217;m not sure what the impetus behind it was, that&#8217;s the best you&#8217;re going to get.  \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s &#8220;Stitching Blogger&#8217;s Question&#8221; was suggested by Dianne and is: If you have stitched for a while, can you usually pick out the DMC colors you need from memory when you go to your LNS?
