Description from Kathryn R: I've always been fond of the color periwinkle, mainly because it is a good color on me. Now it's Pantone color for 2022. I had to add the soft greens because I just love those colors together. Old Man Winter is just that - getting OLD! I'm so over him. But I see Spring in these colors and it makes me happy.

Melody F says:How beautiful! The blues are heavenly. Wouldn’t it be something to have a sweater made from that luscious yarn! Or maybe just a hat or scarf. Those chalcedony cubes are making me want them. Just when this goes POD they’ll be sold out I bet. Come on LB, order more now. Make this a POD when you have lots of them!

dolllady aka Pam says:I love this gorgeous pick! I had a periwinkle pantsuit back in the day. I wore it out from wearing it so much. I truly feel that this will be a future POD!

BevB says:Kathryn – congrats on your beautiful The Many Moods of Periwinkle pod! Melody – you were right about the chalcedony cubes being sold out.

dolllady aka Pam says:Congrats on your marvelous POD! Melody and Katherine you were so correct about items being sold out by the time it becomes a POD. Some of us are on budgets that POD prices, special weekly sales of Noon Lunch Specials are the only way we can afford some of the beads.

Granny Nancy says:Congratulations on your well-deserved POD. I too like/love the combo of light green with periwinkle. Your pick is definitely AWESOME! Its a shame how those PoD items get sold out and folks can only afford to bead with the latest when there is a sale.
