After getting the
box o' yarny love from Shannon last weekend, I *had* to do some crocheting. The package contained a wonderful variegated yarn that I really wanted to see as a handbag. There was some major blue-pooling when I was doing the base which I wasn't loving (see bottom right in photo).
I noticed that the green didn't look like it was pooling, just the blue. Like one was negative and one was positive. There was a skein of green in the box, too, so I decided to do every third row in the green to break up any potential blue-pooling issues. It worked like a charm!
Did you notice the solid green rows before I told you about them? I started and finished this on Saturday. How long do you think it will take me to find the perfect lining fabric? My money's on late November.
