I've been totally inspired by a fox-like brown/red/orange colour lately. I'm not usually a fan of those types of colours, but I guess Pinterest has and I've been dreaming of a gauzy cowl to accent the boring black and grey wardrobe that comes with fall and winter. Not to mention that all of my knitting projects require a bit of focus, so I have nothing to work on while reading my hefty load for the term. Thanks to some organization from some lovely knitters I was able to bring this skein of yarn to life!
It's almost exactly what I had envisioned. It could probably have gone a bit darker, but it's always hard to gauge what a colour will look like when dried. Either way I'm thrilled and I can't wait to have some luscious BFL/Silk hanging around my neck!
What colours are surprising you lately? I'm usually such a blue/green girl that I'm still amazed this colour thrills me as much as it does.
Happy Wednesday!
I usually prefer greens and yellows but at the moment I'm knitting with a brown too and I'm really liking it! I think it must be the time of year. That yarn is a lovely warm colour, beautiful! x
ReplyDeleteI picked up some purple fibre at Celeigh's the other day that is surprisingly on the purple end of the spectrum. I usually don't do purple (or mottled, which this fibre is markedly so, though I imagine that will all blend nicely in the spinning) so it surprised me.
ReplyDeleteI like your foxy yarn though.. that colour seems to have been slowly seeping into my consciousness as well. I can't wait to see what you make of it.
