Keep it simple

"Simplicity is nature's first step, and the last of art."
-Philip James Bailey


Think of it as a very LARGE swatch...

I used a yarnover/SSK pattern with a zigzag built in.


Wanted to keep the pattern simple so it doesn't overwhelm the color change.

Wanted it to have strong enough lines that the yarn didn't obscure the pattern.

We'll see how it looks once it is off the blocking board...

Mendhi comes out next week, and Rose the week after.

Busy,busy, busy...

!!STASH SALE TOMORROW!!

Ooooooooh, this is really lovely! I've had you on my RSS feeds in my mail prog for a while, I don't think I've commented before, and I do love your designs but as a very poor gal I haven't looked at one and said "MUST HAVE", but omg... MUST HAVE THIS ONE.

Maybe it's the colour changes of the yarn, but it's perfect and lovely and I totally dig on it!

I like this swatch. Yesterday's pic doesn't let the pattern show up. Glad you did more color progressions.
