I'm having fun putting glass gem colors with Boysenberry Dk. Today I thought I'd try red, and I like it!
My Reyna shawl (free pattern by Noora Backlund on Ravelry) is coming along nicely. I'm learning to find and fix my mistakes. Today I successfully fixed a dropped stitch and a missed yarn over without unknitting. I'm very proud of myself!
Great Ice Drop and wonderful progress on your shawl!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue!
DeleteYes, the red intensifies the thread colour, lovely. With the rows getting longer, it’s a good thing to be able to fix mistakes without unraveling!
ReplyDeleteI find that if I haven't done something for a while, such as knitting, it takes me a while before I can see and correct mistakes. I'm sure glad I haven't had to unravel lately!
DeleteLovely Ice Drop; I wouldn't have thought of this colour combo but it does work well :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on fixing your mistakes on the shawl without frogging. That's an important skill, saves hours of work and frustration! :)
I wouldn't have thought of it without seeing Red Hat cartoons. I'm not sure I'll ever wear purple and red together, but it is fun to tat with the two colors!
DeleteI wonder how red thread and burgundy thread would work together, Diane? There’s a challenge for you!!!
ReplyDeleteI might take up that challenge, Jane! ...if I ever get out of my chair and walk to the other room where my thread is stashed!
DeleteIt's called monochromatic and it fun to do and love it. Your shawl is coming along nicely too😍
ReplyDeleteThis purple with red is stunning. Your shawl is coming along nicely and how fabulous you were able to fix glitches without unknitting!
