I'm joining Kat and the Unravelers with the finish of the Lapislazuli stripe that I unraveled and fixed last week and the beginning of the penultimate blue strip in La Ola. I think this means "the wave" in Spanish, which strikes me as a little different because most of Wollmeise's names are in German.
I suppose I could call it die Wellen (the waves) or more poetically die Wellen des Meeres (the waves of the sea) but either way, it's a light blue that is not dramatically different from Lapislazuli. I'm a little unsure about it, but I'm using Kym's real estate advice and knitting more fabric before I make a real judgement.
I finished three books this week and might finish another one, so I'll be back Friday with a separate book post.
What are you making and reading this week?
I really like how those colors work together. The cool blues with the warm violets and magentas really give your eyes a workout.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Araignee! It seems like every time I add a color I feel unsure about it but then come to feel better about it several rows in.
DeleteA Spanish name for a Wollmeise colorway is surprising! There's got to be a reason for it. But whatever it is, I love that blue (I know you're shocked).
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if somehow Frau Woolmeise was vacationing in Spain when the color of the sea struck her as one she needed to immortalize in the dye pot!! This is really a stunning Hitchhiker! I am eagerly anticipating your book report post on Friday!
ReplyDeleteI think those colors "play" really well with each other, Bonny. And I think it will be even better when the whole thing is wrapped around your neck. What a perfect mix of colors for a cold winter day -- fun to look at AND a spirit-brightener, too. XO
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous Hitchhiker Bonny. I love the colors all together and I'm betting you will love the latest color more once you knit more rows. Looking forward to your book report!
ReplyDeletegorgeous!! I need t knit with more blue - those two together are stunning.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're following Kym's real estate advice, because I think the difference in those colors will be more noticeable as you knit more Las Olas!
ReplyDeletedie Wellen! I love it! Blue being my favorite color right now, I hope the final color is also blue?! I'm currently knitting another Sophie Scarf in a very bright pink for a friend's birthday. It's going on two weeks since I had "serious" knitting on the needles and I'm not quite ready to give up this break.
ReplyDeleteEvery new color makes this even better. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! :-)
DeleteThose colors are stunning, each one is more gorgeous than the previous!
