I recently discovered when I started following @KnitYeah on Twitter that not only was she also from Harrisburg but she in fact lived just 4 blocks from me and her birthday is 5 days before mine. Yes, the world is getting smaller by the day. It just so happened that I made these realizations on the day of her birthday. We were talking about yarn colors so I inquired as to her favorite color. The answer was unequivocally GREEN!
So, I took all of the greens that I had in my arsenal of dyes (I'm up to 6 different greens now), added a little royal blue and some gold and the result is "KnitYeah". Of course, the first skein went to @KnitYeah herself as a slightly belated birthday present and as a thank you for so graciously allowing me to use her twitter name as the name for one of my colorways.
A mixture of light, bright, medium, dark, and olive green with blue and gold. |
You can see the highlights of blue and gold here. |
I love how the brightest and darkest greens match up and make these stripes that seem to vibrate! |
The final new colorway, coming up tomorrow, is Calico Cat....
