This is the fabric that I'm going to use in the Lady of the Lake quilt block. Got it all cut out before I had to be at work yesterday morning. I didn't get to work on this during my lunch hour yesterday. Had to run and get some yarn for the afghan that I am currently working on.
The lighter yarn is what I started with. I had no idea what size I was going to make this afghan, so, I didn't buy two jumbo skeins of it. Bad idea!!! They discontinued the yarn at one Wal-Mart. Went to another one. They had some mauve. Bought two of the jumbo skeins on clearance.
Got another afghan started. Decided that I didn't want to take forever in getting the afghan finished. I'm already behind!
Off I traipse to Hancock's Fabric for yet another shopping excursion. This time I brought the afghan with me. I had seen some purple yarn of the same kind and color as the first jumbo skein of yarn when I went to Hancock's on a previous shopping mission. Alas, no match. It was a shade different even though there was no dye lot.
I had to hurry up and decide what shade of purple yarn I wanted to go with the lighter colored purple. I was on lunch and had to hurry up and get back to work plus stop and get something to eat. After a few minutes of walking back and forth, I chose a darker purple yarn for an ombre look.
I came up with another idea as I am sitting here typing this up. It will involve some frogging. I'm going to make a border out of the dark purple instead of just continuing the way that I was doing.
I'm thinking of crocheting some flowers and add to a corner of the afghan. I might have to do a bit of embroidery too....we'll see.
