...you remember the 70s don't you...Harvest Gold, Avocado Green, Poppy Red, and Burnt Orange...really...who could forget them...
...I'm going to do a couple of things different...besides the colours...
...the pattern calls for the stripes to continue into the seed stitch border...but I'm just not that fond of that look...so I'm going to continue my olive coloured...'scuse me...Avocado Green border up the sides...and just have the stripes in the center...
...and of course I'm going to make it long enough to generously cover an adult's lower half...
~Have a lovely day!
Why do you wind the yarn into balls? It looks like the skein in the picture is already a pull out skein. Most of the (cheaper?) yarn I used back then was able to be pulled from the center of the skein without needing to be wound into balls, but I see folks doing that a lot now.
ReplyDeleteI'm finished with pretty much all of my projects. I'm putting off starting some socks while I talk myself out of ordering some new needles.
You're right about the pull-out skeins, of course...a lot of the yarn that gets donated to the Prayer Shawl Ministry is leftover and odd bits...so it's easier to wind it into balls...then I can judge a little bit better how much I've got...
