First Milestone on the Road to Liberty
Finally I have accomplished something significant. The back of Liberty is complete. Funny, isn't it, how even though I have definitely used more grey yarn, that it appears that the orange is the predominant color?
So far, I've had no issues with the pattern, though there are some places (especially in the body shaping) that you need to pay close attention to the instructions, otherwise you end up ripping and redoing, since the shaping doesn't occur at completely even intervals. And even though I am going to have a lot of ends to weave in and the edges of the garment so far aren't terribly pretty, I will say one thing about stripes -- it's definitely easy to keep track of where you are in the garment, and if you have to rip back, that makes it a lot easier to know where to rip back to.
The cool weather tonight is driving me to think about casting on for the first of the front pieces. But casting on is competing a bit with practicing a bit with my spindle. A girl can hardly complain about having too many fibery options consider, though.
I agree with you - it's hard to choose sometimes when it comes to fiber options...Liberty is looking so good - the shaping, the colors, all of it!
Your last paragraph describes exactly why I won't start spinning... I have enough knitting to do and no time to spin. I know I'd love it, though.
Nice and orangey, but not too orange-y.
Freezing my butt off today....rain & wind storm, 40 degrees. Is it May or March??
Liberty is looking good. I love the stitch pattern with the orange and the green.
It looks great! I finally got the yarn for this project and the orange is fairly bright, but only because it contrasts with the green and blue/gray. Do you find that cutting the yarn at the end of each color row is more convenient than carrying it up at the sides?
Liberty is looking good and I do really like the colors. I think because the orange is just so bright, it does make it seem that it's the dominant color. Good thing you have a couple of colors to help tone it down.
This is amazing but I can't imagine weaving in all that yarn!
