Welcome to my blog, named after the less-famous elevation of my suburb here in Colorado (the more-famous being 5280, that of Denver). Here you'll find me pondering life and knitting, and everything in between. Thanks for visiting, and drop me a note!

Klaralund colors update

Klaralund update:

I'm deciding on what color to choose, and here are my choices:

#88 -- Sable greys, browns, a little purple and red thrown in

#73 -- DISCONTINUED, Light blues grays and greens, or

#37 -- Medium Pinks greens and blues





Here's what I think:

#88 is great for Fall colors, but I don't think that this sweater is as fall-y as it is spring-y.  Thus, I'm looking for cheery colors.

#37 is a little bit too bright for my tastes.

#74 is discontinued, so THIS IS MY ONLY CHANCE to knit with it;  and being sort of gray-ish and white-ish, it will look good with a gray or white or blue shirt under it.  (A consideration!)

LOOKS LIKE #74 wins!

Here's a photo of the same color of Silk Garden in another project:



This is the Knot Cable Jacket from Debbie Bliss Noro Two. 

What? Does this seem familiar, you say?



YES! Because  --


I'm using Kureyon #40 for this sweater.  I'm calling it my "winter cardigan," and it's slated for completion by Thanksgiving.  One sleeve done, the other is started.  Photos forthcoming, as soon as I can locate the digital camera.  [Note to self ... had it with me at the zoo last week ... where the heck is it?!]


What is life without an addiction of some sort?
