I have to tell you that ball of neon (fluoro?) yarn you bought keeps popping up in my mind. It inspired this little collection of neon & neutral images. Purl Soho has the best projects doesn't it? They nailed the neon & neutral colour combination too, in a few variations. Grey, white or an oatmeal/off-white work beautifully with the bright pops of colour. Have you decided what you'll do with the yarn yet?
I've had this granny stripe blanket project on my to-do list ever since I saw it, one for me I guess rather than you, as it's crochet! And hopefully apart from the size of it, relatively easy.
I like this idea of the neon edging. Maybe a neutral blanket (various squares in different stitches, but all in the one neutral colour - so you don't get too bored knitting it!) or dress for miss.k with a neon edge?
Or maybe not just a little edge, but a big block of neon. This sort of project makes me want to pull out the sewing machine.
Okay back to your yarn. It's sock yarn I know, so here we go, one last project inspiration, that might be more relevant! Colour blocked socks. I could see the neon for half the sock and the neutral for the other.
Notice how much pink there was here? I know, I'm surprised myself.
I love these ideas. The colour pops are perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe hat you selected uses a technique known as brioche. It's really popular amongst knitters at the moment (I believe the brioche moment has been led by Stephen West who has produced a lot of interesting pieces using it over the last year).
It has been on my 'must try' list for a while.
And yes so much pink Miss K will be very proud of you.
Oh you are so quick! How did you know I'd posted?! I love the look of the method in the hat, like a reversible sort of stitch is it? Could you use your yarn like the pink and do the beanie? Or maybe use that method for the leg part of a sock? (I know all the correct terms, NOT!).
