January's Colorway: "Mister Mysterious"


Mister Mysterious started out as drawing on a scrap of paper by a young friend. The drawing's imagery was so vivid, I was sure it needed to inspire a colorway. But which colors?

"You must have black," advised my young friend's mother.

"Hmm, yes" said I. "And purple"

"Purple? Are you sure?"

"Yes I am. His cape is purple. Hmm, how about red?"

"Yes, red is very mysterious." But what else? Neon Green? Too zowie. Navy? Too repetitive after purple. Needed something else, but nothing seemed mysterious enough

What to do.

What to do.

aha! I know!


Come see!

This is Skippy by the way; our new puppy. He is 16 weeks and 47 pounds. Yikes.

Announcing..........2007 Autumn Colorways!

I always go a little overboard for Autumn, but it's the season of color! This year I tried to bring selection that were fresh,bold, and crisp, and a little bit different.

If you've been with me the past 2 seasons, you'll know I always try to have at least one 'Pumpkin' theme colorway, and one 'Apple' colorway; Pumpkins and Apples being of quintessential importace to Autunm symbology.

So it seems fitting to introduce you to the Pumpkin and Apple of 2007 first:

994pump1
"Sugar Treat"

The pumpkin variety this colorway takes its name from is a small, smooth pumpkin with bright orange flesh. It has a long curved handle and is quite ornate.
The spirit of this pumpkin is embodied in this colorway with its sweet colors: crisp greens, bright peachy orange, rosy blush, and soft lilac.





999granny3
"Granny Smith"

Ahhh tart apples...what else is there to say? This Granny Smith colorway has 3 apple greens, white apple flesh and 2 browns, representing stem and seeds.






996inca
"Incantate"

A friend of mine told me Incantate looks very Collegiate; depends on who you support, I suppose! Burgandy, gold, smoke, and black.






996mat2
"Matvey the Cat"

A colorful Octoberish colorway: blazing orange, dark yellow, black, silver and soft green.






996ghostie
"Ghostie"

Black, purple, lavender, silver and white, with a touch of "boo".





And Finally,


995jackf
"Jack Frost"

Not in the least bit as harsh as Old Man Winter, Jack Frost is genteel and friendly with celery, periwinkle and black.

This skein was dyed by our three year old. It seem more and more frequent that she insists on dyeing side by side with me. So rather than have a over abundace of "freeform" yarn. I save a few small skein, or the knotty skeins for her to perfect. This a small skein; about 1.5 oz, so we'll see if we can make her a little hat out of it or something
