It's green and orange, and slightly odd looking, and you can see it from the motorway.
And yet, when I came to think of things I wanted to do with my nice ball of green Araucania Ulmo, and when I'd finally settled on the seamless kimono baby sweater, and when I'd realised that my yardage was probably just on the short side, and I was shopping for a colour just to make up the yards and cover those edgings... what did I pick? Yes, that's right, I chose orange (Patons Linen Touch in Mandarin, should you be wondering).
(this lousy picture does the jumper no favours, I didn't think to take one until all the natural light had gone)
It's not there yet and the orange still looks awfully bright to me, but I'm sort of hoping that once the sleeve edgings and i-cord are in too then it'll just look crisp. Crisp, not too bright, but nice defining edges. Fingers crossed.
:s
Can you tell I'm still not sure about this one? They did go better before I knit them up I'm sure.
