It’s been a while since I’ve done a post about what’s on my hook, so here one is. And what’s on my hook is a bit of a misnomer really as I’m waiting for my next delivery from the mini-skein club. I’ve half-way through my six month subscription, which I took out to treat myself whilst lockdown was on, and to support a smaller business.
But it’s been addictive. And a little bit out of my comfort zone.
I was fine with the first month’s yellows, greens and turquoise - all colours I’m comfortable with. I had a bit of a wobble when the next box arrived with pale blue, but by the time I finished on a lilac that reminded me of parma violets, I was back on course. Then when the pinks, which turned out to look quite like raspberry ripple arrived, I was on the up again.
My original plan was to make a wrap, oblong shaped as I’m not a fan of the triangular shaped ones, and at times I wonder if it might be too colourful. Which is quite something coming from me, a self-confessed lover of colour. Another suggestion is a beach cover up, and I’m tempted, although beaches aren’t quite my natural habitat, and I wonder if I’d want to get it sandy.
Maybe it’ll turn into some other kind of multi-coloured wearable. I’ve thirteen completed squares so far, with the fourteenth already started. So the pile will grow for a few months yet, which means I’ve some time to finalise exactly what I’ll make. Which is probably a good thing!
But for now, I’m just enjoying the colours. And wondering where we’ll go next in the colour wheel.
