365 Somethings Project: Week 7

This will be a short update. I knew these weeks would be hectic, but I still have a bit of progress to report!

1. Ashley Cowl: After spending a considerable amount of time carefully unraveling every stitch because my attempts at corrections failed, I can finally say that I am off to a solid start. Furthermore, given our rather hectic pace, working with yarn can be incredibly soothing.

2. Rachel Reinert’s Color Workshop: I completed her colorless blender project. I’m learning a great deal about layering colors that I wouldn’t necessarily have thought to mix. Very eye opening. (That said, I’m not happy with this photo. The lighting is terrible, but needs must.)

3. WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: This week the challenge topic was “Tour Guide,” and I took a nice shot of Mt. Baring in the Cascades that form the backdrop to our home.

Sometimes, it feels like progress here is so very slow, especially while I’m unraveling a few inches of cowl. Still, I feel that I am learning, and, given the others demands in my life, I’m doing fairly well. So, bring on the next week!

  1. What does colorless blender mean? It’s a dilution pen and you draw the color out from another part? I like the flowers.

    • Thanks! You are thinking of Chameleon pens possibly? No, definitely not that. This is a wooden pencil that seems to be filled with a semi-clear wax-like substance.
