Absolutely gorgeous work on those scallops. The bit about yarn looking totally diferent in hank vs wound vs knit form is so real, I've had projects completely change direction because of that exact phenomenon. Its like the colors have their own agenda once you start working with them. Ended up loving several accidental palettes more than my original plans tbh.
Oh I really enjoyed reading your article! When I had all my embroidery supplies spread out yesterday, in an burst of organizing energy, my husband jokingly said I looked like Scrooge McDuck( an American cartoon character who loved to sit in his “ counting room”, fondling and counting his riches!)and that’s how your deep dive into stash, finding just the right color, feels to me. Isn’t it wonderful to just immerse oneself into such soft, squishy beauty!!
This turned out beautifully! I confess I'm guilty of crocheting several "useless" pieces, just because I liked how they looked or loved the yarn but have nothing to wear the item with. It's still fun to admire the finished piece and I enjoyed the making, so that makes it worthwhile in my book. Thank you for validating what I've noticed, too - yarn can look different in its various states (hank, wound, crocheted/knitted). This will always be a mystery to me!
I love the colors you chose. They were very, very pretty. I love the scalloped edges.
