[Nfb-krafters-korner] Big problem

Wed Dec 29 12:57:25 UTC 2010

I wish I could see a picture or two.  What would be a sample of a few color combinations.
My husband, in my opinion had no consept of color, and made a crocheted blanket of white, yellow, green, white, orange and more.  It was nice, but that orange just recked it.  It just stood out to much with the rest of the lite colors. I started a blanket in multi red, white and blue, but do not know what ever happened to the rest of the yarn. Maybe I will start over on the nifty knitter with new yarn.  Thinking of using 8 ply cotton.

Yes, people go wild over my mixed yarns and they have no idea I do it by random selection.  I never say anything like that to them. they think I have so carefully planned all those combinations. haha  They are my best projects and they are the first things sold at shows for me.  They stand out in the crowd, in a very good way. Lynda
