Why red?

Shopping from the stash can be hard. A friend of mine is getting married in April. When she told me her favorite color was red my heart sank. I don't have a lot of red in my stash. I have some great purple-red and some great red with orange and yellow. But not a lot of red. And certainly nothing that is machine washable.

Right now I'm thinking of knitting 198 Yards of Heaven with the two skeins of Noro Kureyon in the picture above. First I have to finish The Girl's scarf and The Boy's hat. Surely I can get those and all the socks done by April.
