This time last year I took a yarn painting class from Nancy Shroyer at the Carolina FiberFest. I used the colors from my wedding as inspiration for the first skein I painted and I've changed my mind 20 times in the past 12 months about what I should knit with it.
In the end I chose a basic cowl pattern from the 2010 issue of KnitScene Easy. After I finished the project, I realized that Nancy's daugher, Lisa Shroyer, wrote the pattern. So the mom taught me to dye the yarn and her daughter provided the perfect pattern - what a small knitting world we live in!
I think it turned out pretty well. For Christmas last year, Jose gave me a pair of earrings that match the yarn perfectly, so now I just have to wait for some cooler weather and then work up the nerve to wear such vibrant colors! Perhaps I'll debut it publicly on our sixth anniversary this September.
