Knit and Crochet Away!

The Purple/Violet has Returned!

tierneycreates: a fusion of textiles and smiles

Here is a quick follow up on this post – Variegated Yarn Surprise – about the random ball of yarn I found in my stash with an unknown variegated color surprise since I am not sure where the ball of yarn came from (and I never saw it as an unwound skein) but I decided to knit a hat with it.

The first color I encountered was a purple or violet and then it did not seem to repeat.

I went through the purple turning into dark blue, medium blue, blue-green, chartreuse, dark lavender, teal, lavender again, chartreuse, blue-green, blue, blue-violet AND finally back to the purple/violet!

I was about to give up and thought that purple was just a one time thing in the color palette – ha!

Now that the purple has shown up again I am going to start decreasing the crown to work on finishing the hat once the purple turns into it’s next color (my guess is it will transition into blue-violet and blue again…well can look at the ball and sort of see it..).

It’s been fun being surprised by this ball of yarn!

      1. You know what, I can still remember the first thing I made with variegated yarn, a stuffed lizard, when I was about 12, and how exciting it was to me how the yarn made patterns.
