I decided I wanted to knit up some neckwarmers for my brother and my sister-in-law. They’re always bringing things back from Japan for us, and remembering the boys on their birthdays, and, it’s really cold where they live (they’ve got a long walk from where they park at work to the door). This is an ombré that reminded me of a Japanese yarn, but that one is a little out of my price range! This was a great substitute!
It’s chilly and autumnish here in Chicagoland…
And I can’t believe it! I’ve been intimidated for a long time by gloves and knitting in the round with dpns…Not so much, now…
I do all my brainstorming, sewing, x-actoing, pasting, gluing, running, painting in this room. I’ll be painting my studio as well, but there will be some things being built in there so that will wait until Spring. I LOVES this color. I used to love the paint, but, without rehashing my Twitter rant, let’s just say you should stay with what works and I’ll be going back to Ben Moore for my studio (and the ceiling). This color though, proves if you see a color you like out in the world, match it to something. I go for darker colors by nature, but if I had bought what I thought the color was, I would have had a yellow. This color though, is actually an orange: Autumn Morn. Always match “that thing in the color I love” to an actual swatch, you’d be surprised!
A Horseshoe cable and Wavy cable. I finally got my Vogue Stitchionary books so guess what I’ll be spending my Autumn and Winter evenings doing when I need to cleanse the palette from drawing? Yup…
