New Project Reveal


Friends, I have frogged the burgundy sweater AGAIN.
I re-sized it, and
it was STILL 3" too big.
So I'm putting that on hold until
I get a smaller hook.

So, I thought I would give you a glimpse
of a different  project:

Color Experiments 1 & 2


More to follow on these in the future.

More will be upcoming in the
SWEATER SAGA
as well!

Arrrggghhhh! Help!!!



Well Friends, I need help.

I am TRYING to use color
on a PK doily.

Trying being the optimal word.

Here it is:

This pic shows the colors the truest, 
though still not accurate.
(Stinky camera!)


 The pattern has 2 obvious flowers designed in
though the overall look is that of a Peacock
feathery look.  Hence the pattern name:
Peacock Pride
 Can you see the petals?

This, of course, is one of the 2 flowers
in the pattern, but when I've tried
to continue onto the second,
I have NOT been pleased with
the blending of my hues.

I even consulted my wonderful decorator
friend, MaryBeth.  She didn't like
the combo I had, but she didn't 
know what to used instead.

(She's not a threadie.
But she is wonderful!)

I have ripped it out completely once.

I have frogged it partially several times.

I cannot decide on a complimentary color
for the last 2/3 of the doily.

My pinks DO NOT match the pinks I've already used.

ANY IDEAS???

A color besides pink that will blend?

The white in the variegated thread
is off-white, but not beige.
