I’ve got kind of a busy day on my hands so this isn’t going to be much of a post :)
I did get the next ball attached to the kimono sweater and another inch or so worked. I’ll be bringing that with me today to work on in the quiet spots. I also got another few inches done on the poncho and succeeded in transferring it to the second, longer circular. It wasn’t difficult, but I hadn’t done that before and you know how it is when you have to do something for the first time. Turns out it was easy - thank goodness!
Since I got the two additional colors, I’ve been thinking seriously about random stripes. Ryan, Are you listening? So how do I come up with a method that’s truly random. I’ve got dice I can toss to establish a number of rows - that might work, because there are 6 of the little buggers. There would be at least 6 rows worked in any given color (determining which color is another exercise entirely) or there could be as many as 36 rows worked.
This is an appealing idea!
We’re due for more sloppy weather today - bleah. I guess I can’t complain too heavily. We haven’t had much in the way of snow here this year; it’s the temperatures that have been killer. I know other parts of the country have been getting buried in the white stuff so I’m counting my blessings, believe me. I guess I can put up with a little slop after all :)
Myria continues to improve; she’s gone back to her blogging which is definitely a good sign :) She has some beautiful photos over there that you might want to have a look at; she is a wonderful photgrapher!
Hope you all have a warm, pleasant and creative day!
No trackbacks yet.
To get a random color you could use the same dice: throw once for color and then for number of rows. Or use two different colored dice and throw once. If you have RPG dice you could use d20 for rows and d6 for color. Or any combination you like. :)
Hi Vaire :)
Thanks for the suggestion. I know about those RPG dice - that *would* randomize things considerably :) I’m thinking (because of the available amounts of yarn) that I probably won’t randomize the color (though I’ll remember your tip because it would make for a splendid stash-busting exercise) but just randomize the stripes.
