I don't play too much with color, so this little accident was a pleasant surprise. I've been working a lot lately... It's crunch time for me at CEY, so every breathing second that I'm there, I'm working hard. At home too, I have plenty to dobetween tech editing and pattern writing, I'm a busy gal. Yesterday, I enjoyed my time away from the office by writing a pattern. One of my knitters/crochers, Jessica, is leaving for a very well-deserved vacation, and wanted to bring this project with her.
During the process of writing the pattern, I had to do a lot of swatching, to be sure that things would work out the way I envisioned them. Whenever I swatch like this, I don't really care what yarns or colors I use... I just pick up whatever's handy. In this case, it was some yellow Fresco. The orange part was a swatch worked up by Jessica, and the yellow was what I had on hand. The buttonswell, they were just sitting there on my desk...
When they were all put together, I thought the color combo was rather vibrant and fun... so I figured I'd share :)
