Seventeen Shades of Grey
I found this year's theme both challenging and
enjoyable. As I usually wear a lot of black and grey the colour was an
easy choice for me and the grey won. I was also pleased that I managed to
use mostly yarns from my stash, and when I counted them up I found I had used
seventeen different shades of grey.
The original idea in my head was to make a
waterfall-style waistcoat (vest), inspired by seeing some fabulous waterfalls
cascading down the mountains whilst passing through the Swiss Alps recently on
my way to a wonderful holiday in Italy. However, the waistcoat did not
turn out as I had planned and I was not happy with the final result; so with a
few changes along the way it finally metamorphosed into this asymmetrical
poncho instead.
