Loop-de-loop

Here we go loop de loop, here we go loop de li.........all on a Saturday night!! Well actually, it has been most nights that I have been sitting in front of the fire (yes it is a wee bit chilly), knitting a merry tune of pattern, texture and prismatic, rainbow-filled colour. Yes indeedy, loop by loop, stitch by stitch, row by row, pattern by pattern.....my playful jumper of many colours is slowly knitting up to what seems to be a medley of luscious pattern and chromaticity.

 

I have been merrily knitting, loop-de-loopying  the sleeves of my whimsical jumper.......BUT.........there has been a li'l unravelling. Deary, deary me, I just keep making boo boos.

But not to be deterred, I have continued to knit my sleeves. One sleeve is finished using a potpourri of colours and patterns.

 

I have knitted a slew of stitch patterns.....basket weave, cable, garter stitch, moss slip stitch and slip stitch pinstripes.

 

With one sleeve knitted, the second sleeve (with a li'l fixer-uppering of my li'l boo boo) is shimmying along in a rhythmical dance. Again, I wanted to introduce a li'l zest of colour, a little 'get-up-and-go'. I cannot think of a zestier colour than the colour orange. Yes indeedy, I do believe with the bringing together of orange and pink, my sleeve now has a vibrant piquancy. WHAMMO!! I love it. Now I am not a gal who goes stark raving mad for the colour orange but I must admit that the marrying of pink and orange is a match made in heaven.

 

Now, are not these photos just filled with a colouration of luscious zing; a dash of pep and a whole lot of oomph!! Yes indeedy........love, love, LOVE, and this is from a gal whom is rather ho hum about the hue orange. I am now sitting rather comfortably on that peachy, tangerine bandwagon!!

 

The stitches knitted in the second sleeve are a 2 colour zig zag slip stitch, a 2 colour loop and a cable pattern.

 

 

Deary, deary me, this jumper is not one for chromophobes. Not to worry, as a colour saturated kinda gal, I am off to loop-de-loop some more!!

 

Happy Loop-de-Loopying!!
