Changing The Color Changes Everything

You know that Linda and I having been meeting online every Thursday night during Social Knitting From Afar. We have finished four treasures and are working on our fifth. For the first treasure S Curve, we used exactly the same yarn.

For our next three (The Moon and Other Satellites and Spice Market twice), we used very different colors producing very different looks. When Linda and I first became knitting buddies, Linda was a teal girl and I loved anything with lots of vibrant color. Some things never change. I want to share with you how a change in color changes the look of a pattern.

First is our first Spice Market.

There they are. Four different ways of interpreting a single pattern. All beautiful. I would knit this again and again and it would look different every time. Color is everything. Now let’s look at The Moon and Other Satellites.

There they are. See Linda’s The Moon And Other Satellites. Her teal is back. I can’t tell you how much I love discovering how our different color interpretations make our treasures our own and unique. Sometimes you see pattern and you can’t imagine using a different yarn or different color. I say IMAGINE. Take a walk on the wild side. Quite frankly, sometimes walking up to the edge of color doesn’t work. You might thiink, “What was I thinking!” You also might look at it, sigh and fall in love. I think it worth the risk.

Choice of color is EVERYTHING. I need to embrace it more. And, I think I NEED to knit a spice market. Some things, ya just need! You give the greatest nudges. I think I will feel you on my shoulder whenever I’m shopping for just the right color. I know what you’ll say — something like “Do you love it.” You know how the rest of the story _Debi Delightful Dilemma_ goes . . . . I end up with enough for six shawls!!
