Oh, GAWD - I love Ab Fab. I must knit with you some time. It would be so much fun.
The sweather is looking great so far, Franklin. I was looking at some of Zimmerman's books At Amazon.Com and may have to invest in one (or more). Is the sweather you're making knit in one piece? I have a friend that knitted one on circs. in one piece and swears by it. No setting the sleves or anything. I can't wait to see the finished product. It's almost Friday and I hope that you and C have a great weekend.
That looks great. I'm scared to comment on the colour as I don't trust my monitor but it looks great. Knitting in the round is the best. You'll wow them at Rhinebeck.
Ah, EZ..... She makes you believe you can do ANYTHING. I know she's empowered me. Beautiful color (if the monitor is to be believed) and I'm impressed with the gauge keeping. May you make and wear in good health!
What's wrong with the colour? You need to trust your instincts and such and go with the colour choice you originally made. Subconsciously, you knew there was a little blue in it. Now you recognize it and you must embrace the blueness.
OK, enough dither. How many balls have you used so far, punkin?
Oh that Soames Forsyte....don't get me started! Love the color.....
mugging in the mirror and in Rhinebeck for the public...Priceless!
beautiful! thanks so much for the pic in progress, it's really very exciting stuff :)
I bought that book. Cause of you, you know.
Tiffany not only explored the various jewelry processes of the time, Silver Tiffanybut also branched out into new metals, such as platinum, Tiffany Jewelrywhich at the time was considered very hard to manipulate.Tiffany BraceletsIt seems to be the case that unusual colorations appealed to Tiffany, like the opal.He also preferred gemstones that were either opaque or translucent. Tiffany EarringsTurquoise, jade, carnelian, lapis, moonstones, and opals were all chosen for their ability to filter light. Tiffany NecklacesEmphasis based on color was very prevalent in his works.
