I have been happily knitting away this month on a Ramona Light Cardigan and was very sad to discover when I cracked into the second skein of onyx fingering weight yarn and discovered that there was a massive color difference between the two skeins. I cannot believe that I did not remember that I needed to alternate skeins when using hand-dyed yarn. Though I really didn't want to scrap all of the work from the past two weeks, I decided to start again. I know that it will be worth it in the end!
ugh, I hate that! Hoping that the knitting goes by very quickly!
ReplyDeleteOuch. Hope the new knitting effort is fun though!
ReplyDeleteI am working on crocheting our new baby's blanket now. After considering the blanket you suggested, I decided it was beyond my brain power at the moment. ;) But it's on my list. I ended up going for a very simple pattern that I can do while distracted at home, and while waiting for my many doctors appointments, no need to look at a pattern. Things are going well, but high risk pregnancies do kind of fry your brain (I know you understand!) and the stress relief of the simple work is a huge blessing at the moment. :) I'm hoping to get this done and make him a hat as well, before his arrival.
I love this pattern! If you wouldn't mind, it would be fun to see this modeled and how you pair your knitting creations with an outfit :) You are doing so well with your knitting!
