And with all the travel -- planes, trains, buses -- I made good progress on that yellow shawl. It's a half-circle of stockinette with a wide lace edging, and I'm already on the lace section.
It's funny. I was never into yellow before. Never, never. I have tons of yellow yarn from natural dyeing, but there's a reason this sat in my stash for years! But now that me eye got attuned to it, I've kept looking for yellow everywhere. Street signs ....
Plastic chains along the sidewalk ...
Spray-paint on pavement ...
It has me feeling bright and sunshiny in the winter city.
I've always felt that yellow was a cheerful, sunny color. From an artistic standpoint, "a little yellow goes a long way", but there are times when you really need a "punch" of yellow. Yellow is not for the weak and weary minded person. I love this shade that you achieved through dying. It truly does match my VW Beetle! Eager to see the finished product.
