@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest sorry i canโ€™t fully read your reply, apparently the Pixelfed app doesnโ€™t know how to handle super long threads
@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest is probably do longer stripes so each color is more pronounced. Or maybe do a modular thing where different blocks of single color are in different sections of the sweater
@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest I was thinking of doing color blocks or stripes and alternating colors. I feel like the colors go well together, I donโ€™t think it would look dirty? ๐Ÿ˜…
Color palette idea for a sweater or a cardigan ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿงก๐ŸŒธ

Iโ€™m cooking these beautiful domingo rojo beans from rancho gordo ๐Ÿ˜. Iโ€™m boiling them know with onion, garlic, and jalapeรฑo. Then Iโ€™ll make somewhat of a sofrito with bacon to the beans later and serve with a pork tenderloin.

Overhead shot of red beans in a steel bowl. The beans have various tones of red some getting a very deep crimson and burgundy color. They are slightly shiny from having been rinsed.

Such lovely spinning ๐Ÿ˜ . The colors are dreamy
@xylomog@mastodon.social yeah itโ€™s so interesting, itโ€™s like neon purple but dark purple?
More yarn! I recently got a sweater quantity of this lovely yarn from Brown Sheep. The colorway is โ€œEnergized Purpleโ€. Looking forward to making a cardigan with this ๐Ÿ’œ

A stack of 9 skeins of yarn in a dark neon almost blue purple color, in the background are balls of yarn with a care bear on it and a canvas with Frida kahlo against a purple wall
@wendypalmer@mastodon.au thank you ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ
A closer look at this shawl ๐Ÿ’œ. I love the fuzzy texture the boucle adds to this. I think the colors I chose to hold double work nicely together. I still have to block this so the lace texture should open up more.

The center of a crescent shaped shawl showing two halves in different colors. On the left is a grey and pink work pink boucle, on the right is purple with neon purple boucle.
@KarenStrickholm@mastodon.online yeah! I like that its almost like scarf and doesnโ€™t have as much depth as a triangle shawl
@venite@mastodon.nl yeah itโ€™s very soft and cozy ๐Ÿ’œ
Another shawl complete ๐Ÿ’œ. I made the first half purple with a neonish purple boucle and the second half grey and pink with a pastel purple/pink boucle. I love the fuzzy texture.

The pattern is Octave Shawl by Dee Oโ€™Keefe.

Hi welcome! Fellow knitter here ๐Ÿ‘‹. Lovely cables ๐Ÿ˜
@FallsMom@pixey.org thank you ๐Ÿ’œ
@emkingma@mstdn.social thank you! I love adding these little patches to hats, it makes the stockinette slightly more interesting
Hat complete! I used a different stitch to make different sized rectangles to make it look like patches. I held this variegated purple yarn held double with a tweed mohair. I love the result.

A finished knit hat laying on a blanket. The color is purple with pink, white and blue variegations and it has flecks of a deep purple. To the left of the hat is a thinner deep purple yarn with a slight fuzz, to the right is a thicker yarn that is purple with the pink, white, and blue variegations.
