treeskinAm eyeing the wares from Handpainted Yarns, because someone special tol me I could get string for my birthday. Oooooo, string! So I picked 2 (!!) projects out of A Gathering of Lace, and now I'm trying to decide on the perfect string for them.
So, first, the Roseleaf Tunic(*)....simple drop-shoulder yoke, roseleaf lace sleeves and body, worked in laceweight yarn on 8's. Am thinking cinnebar or garnet.
Second, the diamond lace vest, also simple shaping, fairly detailed lace pattern. Am thinking one of the two reds again, or maybe rich earth. Or a blue. The company doesn't have the shades of green that I like, but the selection of blue shades rocks.
*By's comment about this tunic: "That'd be cute with no shirt under it. Woo, nipples! You know, they'd sell more knitting patterns if the patterns showed more nipples!" Sounds like he's been talking to Fred again.
