What would YOU do?
knitting_keeps_me_sane, 17:37h
Say, you got this soft soft creamy wool/silk blend that you spun yourself. You have tried to take a picture of it, but the weather gods do not cooperate meaning you only have a gloomy and dark shot. (or 15 of them).
Now, this yarn is destined for a smallish stole / largeish scarf (The large-gauged white stole in my previous post), even though it probably is more than a tad too thin (Meaning my yarn weighs under 4 ounces while the specified yarn weighs in at 6 ounces).
Now, my original plan was to dye it grey-and-pink, but then I found in my stash a grey wool/alpaca blend yarn with sufficient yardage (doubled) for that stole. I thought of dyeing my yarn pink then, variegated, and knit two stoles, to offer a choise for the giftee.
But, should I:
Knit 2 stoles and dye this yarn pink,
Knit 2 stoles and keep this yarn naturally creamy, or
Just knit the grey stole and hide the other yarn for me? (I do have more of this particular fiber-blend.)
Decisions, decisions... :-/
