White/Grey on White Table Runner
I just love the look of white on white Swedish weaving but I discovered with this project that it looks much better if the pattern is a full and busy one because it shows up better. The pattern I used here is not full or busy so the white Caron's Simply Soft Party yarn with a pretty silver thread hardly showed up at all. I decided to outline the pattern with Simply Soft Part yarn in grey. It's still difficult to see in the photo but it really is pretty and made a world of difference.
And now on to another project.
I love the subtlety of the soft gray on white. Very serene!

Hi Patsyrose,
ReplyDeleteI have done a bunch of SW but it has been a while ago. As I was researching last night I found your blog. Faye's afghan caught my eye. Is there any way that you could share her pattern and her colors? I am at nomadmartins@msn.com. Thanks! Debbie
Faye's afghan ended up just beautiful but she used a technique where she chose each part of the pattern as she went along...completely random. The colors she chose were also used randomly but I can't remember what they were. She has a very good eye about what colors go well together. I do remember that they were mostly fall colors. I hope this helps!
