Just off the needles, photographed in my favorite flooded light place on the landing of the stairs, beneath the roof window facing to the southern sky. Every half hour the sun progress across, the light and shadow changes dramatically, the angles creating dark against light and every grey in between.
I think of my brother, how he is always in need for a new chullo, and needing a fresh idea for yet another, it came into being, trying out light and shadow … with variegating color.
Just a little knitted bit between bigger knitting bits.
A diversion of an idea . . .
And of course, tassels galore, the Peruvian way!
I made these with two-stitch i-cord and unravelled the yarn. I somehow really enjoyed the un-twisting and picking each strand-of-four out. Crazy , I know.
I just get so excited about photographing the new knitted things, but I’m heading on down to Oakville Post to send this fun frolick off to my brother now, and upon my return it is time to get back to the forthcoming thing I’ve taken too long of a break from.
Yarn: Malabrigo Rios in colors Natural, Black, and Arco Iris
Pattern: chullo modification of Forthcoming
Gorgeous color combo!
Hi Michele, thank you! I see your house must be ready to move into soon? xx
Michele took the words out of my mouth. Absolutely Gorgeous! Love those colors and the tassels are so perfect. LOVE it!
Well , report is from my brother that he wore it to work on the following day he received it, which was only two days after this post! xx
I agree, gorgeous was the word that came to mind when I saw the photos. Jen, your brother will appreciate his new Chullo.
Thanks Wen, I heard from him hat he wore it to work on the following day after it showed up in the mail, on Friday ~ xx
Hey, and also a “gorgeous” from me! I never thought variegated yarn would look so awesome in a geometric pattern chart!
wonderful birthday evergreen!
Something just occurred to me, thank you for saying that! xx
Really love the effect of the unravelled yarn.
Me too, thank you! xx
“Just a little knitted bit” — but it’s wonderful!
Hi Laine, I am working on two ideas at the same time , which will be very related, and since this ” little bit ” got so much positive response, I guess I’ll go ahead and not delay getting it together. Thank you! xx
