Since I don't have enough to do, I joined Project Spectrum to continue my love affair with color. This is a forum where crafters and others work with a trio of colors for 2 months. You already know how I love and almost worship A Year of Color, the group who work with a crayola crayon color for a week. Why not add another color challenge?Here in the frozen north, blue gray and white are easy to come by in February and March. Challenging for me, was to create a project based on the colors. I was sort of all used up by those colors with my latest published sweater. What to do? I decided something instant would be most satisfying. Me and quickie projects...
So I made my Instant Mittens with just 1 yarn, Brown Sheep Lambs Pride Bulky. I fulled the mitten very slightly. Rather dull. So I lively-d it up a little with embroidery inspired by my favorite dish+valentines. Though the Shetland 2ply Jumper Weight from Jamieson and Smith was a little thick for the job, crewel embroidery yarn maybe would have been better, I'm pleased with the speedy results...now I have to make the other one.
Oh yeah, another loaf for 52 loaves! Thats 7!
