KnitTalk Swap

I just couldn't not show the wonderful colors in this gift swap I received. Hours of fiber fun in my future.
Gift swap? Please explain. Gorgeous colour, but ladybirds are not that colour

Looks like some fun ahead.

Pretty pinks. Looks a fun project.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond One person was an organizer and shuffled up the names of those wishing to participate and sent a name out to each of us. We then scoured our stashes and sent some stuff to the person whose name we received. The lady bug is an artist's interpretation.
@casablanca Yes. Especially looking forward to a new pair of pink socks. Don't think I've ever had pink socks.
@craftymeg I agree Meg. Next swap is going to be a "mug rug" or fiber coaster.
@wakelys Thanks Sue. I thought so too.

Can't wait to see the socks! What a fun idea for inspiration. Kind of like get pushed on 365!

@corinnec
@30pics4jackiesdiamond There was an upper price limit, in case someone had to buy their gift.
@la_photographic Thank you Laura.
@grammyn Thanks Katy. I want to start them right now but working on something else.
@onewing It seems to have met with a good response according to the posts by many who have participated.
@shutterbug49 Thank you Debbie. Looking forward to working them both.

For Get Pushed are you up for trying the split tone Ann suggested for Flash of Red?
February 12th, 2024  
Lovely!
February 12th, 2024  
Very nice. That ladybird looks like the right colour to me
February 12th, 2024  
Great idea and lovely shot.
February 12th, 2024  
I'm amused by the name of the wool! I wish you great fun.
February 12th, 2024  
A fun idea!
February 12th, 2024

@annied I will give this challenge my best. I tried on my photo today, but it didn't seem to work, or I don't know what it should look like when it does work. Try, try, try again.
@jamibann Thanks Issi.
@kjarn Thank you Kathy.
@johnfalconer Thanks John.
@will_wooderson Independent yarn dyers have very clever names for their yarns. Thanks Will.
@mccarth1 Thanks Kerry. I haven't heard whether or not the person I sent mine to has received her gifts. It's been a week. I hope it got there.
@rensala Thanks Renee. It actually was mostly black, white, gray and pinks. The only thing I really had to work on was getting the yellow and green out of the needlework kit.
@thewatersphotos Thanks Gary. I'll be sure to post.

@randystreat Luckily I have a program that does split toning but I am also not sure if it is what they are supposed to look like - I couldn't figure it out the other way - good luck :) I am sure you will do well
February 13th, 2024  
All lovely colours, have fun with them!
February 14th, 2024  
Love the pink wool , so many shades ! Can’t wait to see what you’re going to do with it !

@jacqbb @cocobella Thank you Jacqueline and Corinne. I'll post when I do.
February 15th, 2024  
Oh fun! Love the ladybug cross stitch!
February 17th, 2024  
@gardenfolk Thank you. I've looked at it again and it's actually needlepoint, which is a whole lot easier than counted cross stitch. Almost started it yesterday.
February 17th, 2024  
@randystreat Oh...You are correct! Needlepoint...shows you how long it has been for me! Haha! I have done many needlepoint projects and I enjoy it. :)
