New Pattern
My unfinished project had become kind of a strain for me and my aged brain so I decided to put it aside for a while and go on with a simpler pattern. This is called Cascade and it's also from Annie's Needlework "Learn Swedish Weaving & Huck Embroidery"....actually featured on the front page. I was quite relieved as I started the pattern and felt so relaxed because it is a much easier pattern.
I'm going to finish the project exactly as shown although mine will be wider. The center will be all lattice/diamonds but I'll probably improvise a bit there.
My fabric is a denim blue and I've chosen something very different for the yarn. It's a variegated mainly white with short runs of blue and beige. I usually choose a variegated with all short runs of colors but this yarn appealed to me to at least give it a try. I think this pattern would be gorgeous with many color choices so I'll use it again.
Update: It turned out that I didn't like the variegated yarn because of the extremely long lengths of white and the few shorter lengths of blue and beige so I pulled it all out and began again.
I chose white yarn and bone (what I refer to as golden beige). I'd known I wanted a lot of white but chose the bone when I saw how nice the other beige looked on the denim blue fabric. This is only part of the border pattern but I think it shows nicely how well the white and bone yarns look on the denim blue. I'll post another photo when it's all finished.
