I came across some lovely stuff I had bought because I liked the look of it. But it was $16 a skein, so I bought only 2 skeins and used my lovely Stanwood things to wind ’em into balls. And then I rissoled the bits of paper left over; so I have NO IDEA what this stuff is – other than that it’s cotton, and thinner – or maybe more tightly woven ? – than normal, 4-ply cotton. Its colourway is an absolute knockout !!
Listening to yet a another crime novel I did nothing more than single crochet it into a scarf, and I was RAPT in it. I put it down the back of the green chair when I finished it last night, ready for photographing (I use the word loosely) in the morning. When I remembered it ..
someone else had decided there was a better use for the scarf.
Had some toast and 40% less salt Vegemite, and generally faffed about for a good long time; but Boodie didn’t get off, no sir ! So ..
here’s front shot showing the over-all effect of the colourway; and here
is a closeup of it, showing how effective ordinary single crochet can be. And how about those straight sides, eh ?! :D
Not sure at all why the yarn appeals so much: I’m not a purple person (dunno if I’ve ever heard a Prince song !). But I just love it.
Will add it to the Minerva scarf for my sister.

It is very purple! But you are an excellent crochet person.

In the flesh, the myriad other colours are more pronounced, I promise.
But purple is definitely predominant.
I still think it’s a gorgeous colourway. :)

You oughta know, Michele – you have double the help ! :D
That’s a lovely thought, and an accurate one: I’ve never come across this kind of colourway before, and to describe it as ‘watercolouring’ is SPOT ON ! I say that’s clever !!

You know the significance of purple and green! They are my favourite colours, and that makes them even more special. Consequently I think this scarf is beautiful.

No – I know only that purple and green are Wimbledon’s colours, Sue.

I am very impressed by those straight sides, and the colours are gorgeous. Boodie obviously has excellent taste in crochet.

That is true, he does ! There are FOs that he has ignored, even though temptingly laid out on the table or something. The cardigan I knitted for my friend S, for instance, might have been an item of my imagination ! :)
