Also, I always tell my students to be careful when using variegated yarn because too long a strand of one color shows up too distinctly on your project. I didn't follow my own advice and bought this gorgeous variegated yarn that had maybe a yard of one color. I ended up cutting the worst string of it off but that is a terrible waste of yarn.
I have another runner to make but I'll use a different pattern. The two pieces are far enough away from each other that no-one but me (and you) will ever know.
By the way, the pattern is Avery Hill's "Blue Ridge Mountains".
I really like the look of this pattern! Do you think if you did two lines of the part that can disappear, it would help it stand out more? I am really enjoying your work! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeletePersonally I won't repeat this pattern but I truly believe we all should do what looks good to us. If we don't try new things we'll never know what miracles we can come up with, right? Be adventurous...you can always pull out what you don't like and try something else.
