three are beautiful -- thank you so much for sharing the link.

I nosed around a little and looked at your other photos. All I can say is, "Wow!" Your use of color and texture in your work is astounding. You've given me some things to think about in regards to my own crochet work. I've shied away from using variegated bright yarns because of the textured pattern stitches I use. While looking at your work, I began to see some possibilities for me to try something new and exciting for myself.

Thak You! You can see that the use of colour is the very important part for me.

It is thrilling to use multicolored yarn in patterns. Often do the yarn look much "nicer" in the ball than knit/crocheted. I have often wished that the colour repeat had been longer, the result will often be very "spotted" and "busy" to look at. Often iI think the result is very bad, the pattern is invisible, it only contribute to more "business". I have learned from many mistakes, that to use multicoloured yarn, demand a close "study" of the yarn and of which pattern I will choose for it.

But I LOVE to play with it, and I love to play with solid coloure together as well! Aud ;-)
