color sense

Wow, you guys! The response to the Tapestry Cowl has been phenomenal. Thank you so much! I’ve got new, totally different, designs in the works, which I hope you’ll like just as much.

Many of you commented on the kick-ass color combo in the official Tapestry Cowl—a not-quite “choqua” pairing of a reddish-brown and a bold light blue. All credit to the color combo goes to Megan, the Knitting Philistine, who watched me stress over a wall of Koigu, looking for the appropriate high-contrast yarns. The girl? She has a sense for color. Which makes it all the more exciting that she’s started making colorful, spectacular fabricy things to sell!

I’m totally smitten with what she’s creating. Click on any of the pillows to buy them now (before it gets snatched out from under you!) Then bookmark her store and keep an eye out for some cleverly made totes, too.

    Oh, how pretty! I’m really tempted, even though I recognize most of those fabrics. Some of them are even in my closet, just waiting to see the light of day. If I could only stop knitting….

    Oh, yum. Thanks for the heads-up on this! Of course, the one I wanted has sold out already. But I’ll checking again soon!

    And congrats on the Tapestry Cowl success!!
