Hey everyone.... here is a quick posting on inspirational colour from Fair Isle, although it did take me a little while to put it together so it looked all pretty like!!
As you know I am a huge fan of yarn that is wool or derivatives there of. Here are some things that I am thinking of and being inspired by. I love the colour that is found in Fair Isle:
I would love to get a hold of some of this. I would imagine how lovely it would be to knit with. So soft. And the colours are amazing!!
I have been wanting to come up with a pattern where I can use this colour combo. Have to put the old thinking cap on. These colours would look awesome in a blanket or a poncho...... Hmmmm..........
If you have never knit with any of Debbie's Cashmerino lines then you have to go out NOW and get yourself some. It is one of my favourite yarns ever. I have made many wristwarmers in the Aran weight:
These lovelies are "Fetching" and can be found at Knitty. Click on the above link. Knitting with the Cashmerino line whether Aran or Baby is like a dream. I cannot stress enough how wonderful this yarn is to knit with. I will be making many more of these in the future. The only thing that I do differently is that I do NOT do the Picot edge bind off. I find that it makes the top to gaping. I just do a regular bind off.
I just Love the earthy colours found in this sweater. It is definitely on my to do list. I have such a large to do list for knitting. But those of us that knit avidly have a huge to do list- don't we??
Well that's it for today. I hope you can garner a little inspiration from the colours I talked about.
Have a great day everyone.
