A little closer

 Here's a photo of the shed/barn in process...


I think I may have come up with a way to make this entire thing better.  We'll see...or then again, maybe we won't.

- If you are like me, you often end up with part balls of various yarns and don't know what to do with them.  I found THIS and I imagine I could adapt the rows to an existing hat pattern I like.  I like the way she married two colours together in a row to make the colour changes look intentional.

- THIS is a rather nice cardigan design.

- THIS is something that would be useful for many different ages.

  5. Lots of partial balls of yarn here. I am trying to use up as much as I can knitting mitts. We shall see.

    God bless.

    1. I thought the method of blending two colours together was intriguing so I hope to apply it to my favourite hat pattern to see how it looks.
