Obsessed with Color!

Yes, I am obsessed. I have been working up some color lessons and exercises based on Albers and Itten, among others, but with yarn instead of paint and paper.

Stay tuned for free lessons!
 

Noro Sprial Shawl

The latest issue of Noro Knitting Magazine (Fall/ Winter 2016) features one of my designs, "Spiral Shawl."

It looks a lot more complicated than it is to crochet; the pattern consisting mostly of a two row repeat of simple stitches, with the yarn (Noro Silk Garden Lite; colorway #2093 with bright flashes of turquoise, pink and orange against dark gray) doing most of the work.

I had envisioned the scarf going around the neck, much like a collar, but they styled it in different ways I hadn't thought of. I've got to say, this is one of my favorite photos of one of my pieces--the magazine and the model did a beautiful job!

There's a lot more to see in this issue of knitted and crocheted items in Noro yarns--check it out at your favorite LYS now!
