Today's Yarn Helper is #RavenBaby!!!

Yarn is for Stephen West's #MusiKAL, which I said I wasn't going to do! #knitting

@aleen Aleen I'm planning to do that #MKAL too! Are you going to use all six colors?

@KarenStrickholm no idea 😂

I'll see how I'm feeling when I reach the mohair-optional sections, I guess. I don't usually like the way his MKALs look so I wanted to have some variety available to me to try to exert more control.

@aleen

Playing w 2 skeins so far. Exploring this quasi-autumnal cream speckled yarn from HedgeHog. Maybe add this darkish gray, a gold or golden brown, a deep blue, or maybe a deep berry brown? Pop a mohair note somewhere? It was hard to see in artificial light. Not sure about aqua for this #MKAL though. Note - color off in these shots

? There are 2 v@[email protected]

Speckled one is HedgeHog Fibers. I have to read up on them, looks like they roll out subtle variations of a dye lot over a period of months, a new to me approach. Want to see how people work with that. Have 2 other skeins in this colorway (#s 7, 8 and 9, Sept-Nov). This one is #9, more cream/autumnal than other 2. Thinking, thinking... we'll see what the daylight has to say about all this!

@KarenStrickholm a forest green would also be pretty in there!
@aleen Thanks and yes, Im having same thought, thinking of this combo...
