Orange sanguine

...or blood orange. This was my first thought (in French, I did not know the English translation at the time) when I finished it. This is what you get by mixing orange pumkin and red cherry yarn. It is WAY out of my comfort zone in terms of colours, but do I love it? oh yes! Would I knit again? Actually I think I might (may need to go back to neutrals though). Not straight away mind you, but it is not as boring as it seems - because of the size 6mm of the needles I expect.



La couleur orange sanguine... Generalement je prefere un fond gris et quelques touches de couleurs par ci par la. Et non, 2 metres d'orange et rouge. Et pourtant je l'adddoooore. En fait, je m'en tricoterai bien une autre, mais la j'ai besoin d'une petite pause er d'un nouveau projet. Mais les aiguilles 6mm m'ont drolement facilite la tache .. La preuve je l'ai fini en une semaine - un exploit pour moi!

Voici la taille de l'etole que je porte generalement en echarpe. Ce n'etait pas tres difficile a tricoter.. OK, A PART si vous regardez la tele en meme temps - ca complique en fait vachement les choses. Les notions a connaitre sont minimales mais le resultat est vraiment tres interessant en terme de texture. Vous pouvez avoir une idee de ce dont vous avez besoin sur ce projet de PurlBee. Le matos de la Droguerie est quand meme super. J'ai fini toute la pelote - il ne me reste rien, zilch, zero de laine...

I am now wearing the shawl as a scarf. It is really not too difficult to knit. The number of stitches to know is quite minimum, you can see what you will be needing on the PurlBee website. Got the yarn from la Droguerie as I mentioned before, and needles 6mm - and finished the all yarn, I have nothing left. If you have a book from La Droguerie and cannot understand the stitches, let me know I may be able to help. Anyhow, with a minimum of skills, you can get something that is really interesting in terms of texture. HOWEVER it is not an easy knit in front of the TV... Well at least it did not work out for me.

I would definitely recommend a dark blue nail varnish (I am wearing the YSL one) to wear with this scarf. Anything electric blue for that matter... yes blue and orange is my new thing..

J'ai une nouvelle obsesssion: la combinaison entre le bleu et l'orange. Mon vernis est le YSL blue nuit - du vrai bonheur!

All to be posted, with more pictures, on Ravelry.. Je mettrai plus de photos sur Ravelry.
