This is a sample for 'Sweet Hexagon Cowl', designed by Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark, published by Interweave Press. I've spun the yarn for the cowl. Now I'm dithering about the dyeing. I'm thinking in terms of pinks/green/blue colours. I could dye all the skeins in the same combination of these colours, so it would look like the sample. Or I could dye each skein in a different combination of colours, keeping one colour constant throughout. Or I could make each skein one colour, not too evenly dyed to enhance the hexagon structure, similar to the original pattern. Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.
What a decision to make, all the colours are nice!
ReplyDeleteI think the last Idea would be good to show off the structure because I have never seen such a pattern for knitting!
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't ask for comments on your dithering as I couldn't help - I'm a ditherer too!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome!!! :) I am sure whatever colors you choose will look fabulous!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, each choice could really change your final piece! I like the one color constant throughout but I bet all of them would be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLovely piece of knitting and the colours are beautiful, You did a great job with the dying.

This is so interesting. I have never seen hex knitting before! Very lovely. Our son knits, I wasn't very good at it!
ReplyDeleteLove the hexagon pattern !
ReplyDeleteJane, can Any pattern be converted into a hexagonal one ?
On first thoughts , it does seem possible, right ?
First step would be to invent a 'half hexagon' so that the sides could be made straight. I'm sure it's possible!
DeleteSuch perfection in each stitch !! I think you should make some money by teaching this on line via skype or other.... You can make some money by allowing advertising on your web page - if you get one.
ReplyDeleteYou are a professional and quite a veteran at this! Keep going .....
