baby wedding jacket
from ages ago at Poppalina possibly the most adorable baby jacket of all time
I was dead broke at the time, as single mothers are wont to be, so made the whole thing out of a bag of stranded cottons I found in my yarn basket. There really is a lot to be said for using what you have, it forces you to improvise, with varying results, I admit, but it’s always interesting, you never know what’s going to happen.
As you can see, what happened here was a colour scheme that wouldn’t be embarrassed to front up at a Bollywood Shaadi. She made quite a splash in it. I always did so loathe the limited pastel colours available then for baby yarns, they used to make me so annoyed. It’s better now, but not much.
This project led me into others in which the whole point of interest was juxtaposed colour. Each colour has to work with the one before it and the one after, and beyond that, it’s completely random. I worked this idea for ages. I still do actually.

Thank you so much for the link. When I opened my stats, I couldn’t understand why I had received a week’s worth of hits over night.
Mystery solved.
