I think you will find the colours complement and bring each other to life. Just get a few strands, wrap a swatch card and see what you think :)daisymarmaladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513128799640283178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931698874011955238.post-13797836088866026612012-05-11T21:20:09.996+01:002012-05-11T21:20:09.996+01:00Its not that bad!

But if you don't fancy squares, how about knitting vests for children (my aunt got a pattern from Oxfam a few years back and the only yarn not acceptable is white because that's for funerals).<br /><br />I did a similar thing with some yummy looking, variegated plum/purple wool tops - when I'd finished felting it looked like road-kill.Lynhttp://www.rosiepink.typepad.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931698874011955238.post-21992901019486483272012-05-10T22:50:36.369+01:002012-05-10T22:50:36.369+01:00This post made me chuckle.
