Glad you found a new pattern to use. I am taking pictures right now of my finished afghan to share...and I just had a brainstorm for the next color pallet:
I'll use the same pattern ('Spectrum') but will shorten up the bigger 12-row sections so I can get more colors into it without making it 20-feet long, LOL! I'll have Beau do the cipherin' for me - he loves that stuff. I'm seeing eight color changes, there.
I LOVE those colors .... I am always admiring the various colors/shades of eggs. All of ours are brown right now (last Arucana is no longer with us), but even the brown ones ... dark, medium, light shades & in between. I think doing things in shades of nature is always a winner.
Deer head stocking is not “dead”, just on hold. I need to finish the head & see if it looks wonky - if not, I’ll soldier on. If it is out of proportion, then the stocking will be dead.
Can’t wait to start the new one in a few minutes ... had to go to the hardware store first. Loading up on tea, checking out my available podcasts & I’ll be off & crocheting ... something easier than what I’ve been doing.
BTW ... my favorite podcast while knitting/crocheting? It’s “The Pirate History” by Matt Albers. I love history & the podcast is a LOT of history, pirates have always fascinated me, and then there’s Matt ... or should I say Matt’s “voice”. BEST male voice in podcasts. :-)
