finished object #2 - theory tested successfully

Remember my theory?

That you could combine ANY three yarns, and still end up with a decent looking bag. I asked my daughter to choose the yarns for me... and she selected the unusual combination of a fairly bright pink/yellow and then added a brown fleck and a green fleck yarn.

Did you think it was going to work out?

I certainly would not have chosen to co-ordinate those colours!

Using three strands held together, I crafted another easy peasy crochet bag. A little embellishing, and here it is...



What do you think?



The butterfly is made from an old felted jumper, recycled wooden beads, and some electric cable for the antennae.

I have a theory

For a while now, I have had a theory...

I believe that when working with a number of strands of yarn held together… you can use ANY combination of colours at all… and still come out with a decent looking bag. I really do.

But I haven't tested this theory as yet.



Now is my chance!

Little Miss Four has requested that I make her a bag. She chose her three colours (all by herself) and was so pleased with her decision. Alas… they look really crappy together… so this is my chance to test out the theory.

Her favourite yarn is an awful pink and yellow wool. She has been wanting me to make her something from this wool for such a long time... but every time I start using it, the colours work up atrociously, and I abandon it. It was my first (and last) attempt at food colour dying!

The others choices are a green fleck and a brown fleck yarn. I would certainly NEVER choose to put these three colours together… so this will be interesting!
