Oh, So Bright and Cheery!

Finally!  I've made a crafty purchase - it's been a long time!

I couldn't resist this zesty green King Cole Bamboo Cotton...


I thought it would add a real zing when used with these bright colours I already had (also King Cole Bamboo Cotton)...


Oh, I just love those colours together!  What shall I make?  I was thinking maybe some colourful crochet coasters?!

I think the green also adds a bit of something when put with a medley of pinks...


So... even though I was stood in my craft room the other day thinking that I really must use up some of these supplies... well, I feel that this addition might just open things up a bit!!  Yes, I'll justify it that way!

Now, I just have to pull my finger out and start making!

  2. Oh I love the medley of green with the different pinks!!! But, would you be able to use the top right DK yarn with the other bamboo cottons? Forgive me if that's a dumb question.

    I've always loved how smooth bamboo cotton looks. It also looks like it wouldn't 'ball' after a while. Does that make sense? You know how knitting gets all bally? I promise, I am an adult. I just cannot sentence today.

    Also - I'VE STARTED KNITTING AGAIN! I immediately said to Robert, "Oh I simply must tell Maria! This is so exciting", poor guy didn't know where to look :P I only did about 2 lines of knitting though. Giant fail.

    1. Well noticed, young Alex and not a dumb question! That yarn is thicker looking - it's King Cole Cotton Soft instead of Bamboo Cotton. It's 100% cotton, whereas the others are bamboo and cotton, but they are all actually supposedly DK. I think the Cotton Soft is just fluffier and is thicker because of that. I reckon they could be used together, but that pink will look a bit thicker - I guess it depends what I decide to make whether it'll be ok or not. What a long-winded response to your question!

      Yes, I also love the smoothness of the bamboo cotton! I made my phone cover with it and I remember at Blogtacular you remarking on the smoothness! I've had that case for over a year and a half and it is still so smooth, without the bobbling/balling of wool. It's a delight, I tell you!

      Haha, that made me laugh!!! Robert must have been beside himself with excitement! 2 lines of knitting is still something to be proud of, believe me! What are you making?!

    1. I know, I am feeling rather inspired right now - I must craft again!!
      That octopus pattern would be much appreciated when you get the chance - thank you! I'll start on some coasters in the meantime I think. A nice colourful quick result! xx
