Modifying the colors with these Jamieson wools:
And one wool hank dyed with marigolds:
It is a bit slouchy on the manny head. I played around with colors using the color wheel, and it proved to be a good exercise in knitting with differing strands of colored yarn. It will be a warm hat and a labor of love.
Linking with Fiber Arts Friday and Finished Objects Friday.
it looks like a complicated pattern Nancy and a professional result, I like the original mauves best only because they are my favourite colours, but yours looks fun, warm and stylish too.
ReplyDeleteoooooh, I love both hats but that second one with the bright colors really calls to me. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteI love it! The blue with the yellow is not a problem to me at all, but I guess if it has bad associations for you, that's understandable! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteNicely done, Nancy!!!! I like your color choices better than the original ones!
ReplyDeleteI like the yellow and blue, but then my school colors were silver and blue....I have yet to try ant colorwork!
ReplyDeleteThis is a happy tam! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteLove the slouchy hat, the colours are happy colours :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy! Oh, I like it a lot! It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe hat turned out great.... I have recently been introduced to Jamieson Wools. How did you like working with them?
ReplyDeleteI know the Jamieson Wools is intended for colorwork, thanks to a friend who studies wool and sheep.
