I’ve been away.
And my computer is still dying and/or I haven’t figured out what is wrong with it, but most likely it’s dying.
I finished that gradient spin – kept it as a single and fulled/felted it.
(The color is more accurate in the linked post.)
I was thinking of knitting it up as a superhero cape to get through my trumpdisgust but I’m still not in love with the colors, though there is enough blaze orange for something to be worn in the woods during hunting season (but I don’t usually wear handknit shawl/scarf things in the woods due to snagage) but maybe something sorta tacky/vintage in a feather and fan/old shale…?
And I found a vintage cardigan at the thrift store earlier in the autumn that I thought my brother would like.
Even the clerk commented on its blinding lime…
But when I got it in natural light, it was excrement colored mustard and brown.
At some point I had something to say about sneaky color changing and artificial light – I’ve purchased more than one set of lovely pale sage green sheets only to find that they’re nicotine-stain yellow in the daytime bedroom – and worry about the color lies being fed to our brains, but that rant is somewhere behind.
And I need to buy more lamps.
I’m always uncertain how to use transitional yarn, but I do love them just because. One way could be simply blending them, two rows of one, two rows of another – or of a solid.
Good idea about using with another yarn – I could tone it down, or make it even more blinding – either way, I do like my shawl-scarf things to be as big as possible these days and the single turned out a little thinner than I intended (as usual).
