Would you run to the craft store to grab just the two floss colors you need and thereby risk coming home with a heck of a lot more than just two skeins of floss OR search through this huge, unorganized pile?

I was pretty sure I had every DMC color known to man.  This means that if I do in fact have the colors, I’m going to have to search my dozens kitted WIPs and the stuff I brought home from Mom’s to find them. Other than that, I’m ready to start. Halloween Hoot Owl from the 2014 Just Cross Stitch Halloween magazine.

I’m going to completely ignore that new colors were introduced in 2013, long after I stopped actively stashing cross stitching stuff.

For now.
