Last week Sue Anna sent me a lovely gift of some threads and odds and ends. The threads were some of Yarnplayers.
I've resisted buying the HDT's as I've always thought of them as variagated threads. I'm not very fond of variagated threads. That's just ME being an awkward old moo. I can get on with them if they are gradually changing colours but stark changes frighten me. I'm not that fond of them as the main 'element' in lots of patterns but DO work with them quite a lot alongside a plain.
Sorry, I'm rambling again - it's what old people do when they get - well, OLD!!!
So, one day I was looking at Yarnplayer's HDT and spotted celery amongst them and thought - hmmm, that looks good, very good. Imagine my delight when two skeins (1 size 20 and another size 40) were in the bag from Sue Anna.
I couldn't wait to get my mucky mitts onto using them and eventually I got there!!!
This was the project I'd got in mind and it's just the loveliest thread to work with for these leaves. The thread 'glows' alongside the beads which sparkle. Aren't I a lucky old git?
