What a beautiful color combo…

Diana writes: “I enjoyed this pattern a lot – I knit both sleeves at the same time. When I did the collar, I doubled the length to turn it back on its self. I did a row of all purl at the crease and reversed the rib pattern to make it lay better.

Having the zipper go all the way to the top makes it look like a sporty jacket. I am a fan of this look when I see knit patterns and am excited I have a sweater like it now.”

Straight from Central Park, NYC
the ravishing Rose models her delightful Ribby Cardi!

She was one of the early adopters of this fun pattern awhile ago and made this beautiful version last year…

Rose writes: “Hi there! The Gates are going to be taken down… but I visited a few days ago wearing my brand-new Ribby Cardi!

It was a pleasure to knit.

springrowan.jpgyum…

While I’m wading through the pile of almost FOs, I’m tempting myself with some inspiring goodies. In the mail comes:
– the new Spring 2005 Rowan
– a bag of All Seasons Cotton in…

LIMEDROP!

We need some serious Warmth in these here parts and even though the sky is blue today, my brain is still a little frozen. Lookin’ at some TROPICAL color just wakes it back up.

To keep the b.Limey Journey going strong (since I can’t buy yarn EVERYDAY can I can I canI???) I’ve sifted through some of my photographs and have put them in a color Journal of their own. It isn’t much, but it is a simple Hue study of Number 4 Yellow-Green on the Color Wheel, using images I can relate to because I took them. Going back and looking at them in a series is a fun way to try and understand that strong mental realtionship I have with this hue. It has *It* for me – I am drawn to this color over and over again.

Since it is never seen in isolation but as a part of a whole, I can think about what makes it such a powerful creative SPARK in my brain…

Gallery b.Limey, if you please…
