...I was kinda sad about the controversy and renaming of the Ravelympics...but I've entered EventBeads...and EventShawl...in the 'Ravellenics'...it's the same project though...
...I'll be knitting with thread...that's a ball of Aunt Lydia crochet thread...and several threads...lime green...forest green...and two royals...and a navy...
...and I'll be making another version of my Super Simple Triangular Shawlette...with a beaded border this time...more shimmer...
...I'm not going to actually spin the threads together...but just hold them all together as I knit...I've done this before with multiple strands of crochet thread...but this is the first time that I've done it with sewing thread...
...the reason is that I could not find exactly the yarn that I wanted...it had to have varying shades of blue and green...and it had to 'shimmer'...because...
...it has to match this dress...
...I got it early for my birthday...because I had to try it on of course...so it wasn't a surprise...it's for my nephew's upcoming wedding...and it will have a pretty beaded shawl to wear over the shoulders...
...I realize that doesn't look very impressive...but it's really nice in person...it's a nice soft suede...with pretty little embroidery details around the bodice...
...Let the games begin...
...so will you be knittin' and watchin'?...
~Have a lovely day!
