I started a new project. I wanted something quick and easy and fun … and, if possible, not too hard on the wrists. The Storm Cloud Shawlette seemed like the right answer.
So I grabbed a little handspun, some big needles, and got started.
This color is called “shadow on the wall” and I’m not really sure why. It’s peachy-yellowy-slighly pinkish-greenish hue does not make me think of walls or shadows. It makes me think of brains.
Which is why I’m going out on a limb and calling my version braincloud. Also, I know that feeling — cloudy brains — and wish it felt like super soft handspun wool. In pretty colors. Alas and alack … well, it’s at least a wooly feeling.
This is knitting up super fast: win!
i like this plan: knit something simple in squishy handspun. perhaps it will help clear your head? can’t wait to see more of this.
Mmmm… brains…
It’s looking great! I tried that pattern once, and it completely stymied me. The handspun looks delightful to work with.
Simple knitting is pretty awesome especially when it involves tasty brains.
I think it’s going to be quite cute when finished.
Now that you mention the colour reminded you of brain… I am not sure I could handle it. I know I am very squeamish.. I have images in my head now… argghhh
Great pattern – 200 yards of fingering? I think I may have handspun that would work – and how nice it would be to use it finally! Thanks for the link to the pattern.
I love the colors of yours – its going to be pretty when its done.
