Also, so much for using the old sweater as a spur. I have been wearing it quite a lot lately. It's in really ragged shape, but I do love it so. Despite the fact that it's not really holding together, people compliment me when I wear it. It's a really great sweater. I want another. But I wear the old one and it's still working so why would I create another. Surely the old one will still do?
Nonetheless, I haven't abandoned the idea. I actually went to Scotland and am quite inspired by the colours and I want to KNIT them.
.... Except that seems like it might be work and I really should use up my stash before embarking on a big colour project which will require lots and lots of stash-adding.
Yup. I'm torn.
At any rate, the most important observation that came out of the scottish trip was that the reds on the hillsides are somehow more vivid when reflected in the lochs than they are on the hills themselves. This idea fascinates me. I want to make a sweater with green and a dunny red and blue-d greens and a vivid red. We'll see what actually happens.
