Kate Gilbert’s Tadpole

By ScoutJ | Posted in Dye me up! |

This colorway is for Kate’s daughter Tadpole. She gave me some great colorways and I chose this one to try. However, I didn’t really have all of the colors to make what she wanted so this will have to do until I get what I need. The green was supposed to be *apple green* and that burgundy was supposed to be…well…ummmm not even close to that! Eventually there will be a revamped Tadpole. For now, here she is. Click to see it up close and in person.

I actually really like it a lot. I’m also not really seeing much twist in the Licorice Twist. Maybe it would have been better in just a solid color.

    Oh, I love it! As Dave could tell you, many beautiful things are not what they were supposed to be.

    Hey, that turned out great! Not knowing what your vision was, but this looks worthy of knitting into a FINE pair of socks. (And I’m the last person to give my own a passing grade, so…)

    Very cute. And even if it’s not what was expected… it can still be used for something pretty. Yay!

    “Orchid Twist.” “Orchid Surprise.” It reminds me of … orchids. I have no idea why.

    I love your color sense!
    I’ve been quiet about it lately, but mostly b/c I’m so busy fondling all that new Koigu sent by this enabler from the southwest I met here….

    Very pretty yarn! I’ll be with you in spirit only for the dye-o-rama as my kitchen reno will be happening at the same time and there will be no time to dye! (of course I’ll be having serious yarn envy when I see what everyone comes up with, but I can deal)! ;-D
