...You know how it is! I've been doing lots of stuff...just STUFF...creative stuff, of course, but I haven't really got any finished results that I can show off.So here's a photo of my partly completed cardigan, made with a mixture of mohair and recycled sari yarn. The pure silk sari yarn was more expensive, so I got a mix of part silk and part whatever, which is quite harsh and not at all what I'd want next to my skin, so I added the mohair (in a delightful shade of Depressed Grey that I had never used , for SOME reason). Because I wasn't too sure about how far the sari yarn would go, and I'm still not, considering I have the fronts to do yet, I'm knitting 4 rows of the 2 together folowed by 2 rows of just mohair.
The Evil Twin (ahem!) has been bending the plastic again and buying books from Amazon. I really enjoyed Victoria Finlay's book  |
so when someone on the Dyers' List recommended "A Perfect Red" I naturally jumped at it. Or at least, my fingers jumped at the order form..no, no, it was the Evil Twin! Anyway, I now have the book, so I look forward to reading about "Empire, Espionage and the Quest for the Color of Desire". Hoo!
I hope you will report back on the book after you read it - sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I want that book! Add I want to see the whole cardy when you're done - the sari blend is certainly lifting the grey!
ReplyDeleteEnough! I haven't even finished the last book you recommended. You'll get my evil twin going, if you keep posting such great looking books.
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley, Is the cardigan for you? I guess you need knitted garments a bit more than we do up here. Please show us when it is finished( or even the progress ). Happy Knitting, Ali.
ReplyDeleteI loved the color book...so, I guess I will have to use the plastic and get the other....shame on you for twisting my arm!!! vvbg

ReplyDeleteOh that book looks fabulous. I too loved Victoris's book on Colour - a real eye opener.
