    Just finished rereading the Anne of Green Gables series, and thought you'd appreciate this little gem.
    "Susan, unbowed by the culinary cares that were heaped upon her, stalked about, showing the ladies to the guest-room, serene in the knowledge that not one of them possessed an apron trimmed with crochet lace five inches deep made from Number One Hundred thread. Susan had captured first prize at the Charlottetown exhibition the week before with that lace."
    - excerpt from Anne of Ingleside (Anne of Green Gables, book 6), chapter 32; Susan is Anne's housekeeper, and the ladies in question are arriving for a quilting bee

    Oh my goodness that is absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad you went and reworked this because it's lovely. The idea of an entire outfit to match would be spectacular- I liked the thought of golden yellows and browns- leaning towards autumnal colors. That color forest green is so cozy to me, and I think it fits the "dragon scale" look very well!

  • @leewitte4580
    @leewitte4580 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That is just lovely! I love that dragon scale pattern! I also love this olive color! Well done! I would consider this well and truly redeemed!!

    I am a railroader that has been doing his best not to have a heat stroke today. I haven't the foggiest how to knit, or anything like that, so can someone please tell me why I am so excited to see this nice lady create things while basking in the AC in a hotel room?

      Because she is a pretty lady with lovely voice who makes knitting and crochet sound interesting.

    I don't know if you needed to be redeemed, but it is fair to say you have accomplished that nonetheless.
    I think it turned out very well, and the green was indeed the right choice.

  • @su.mioiyu-5008
    @su.mioiyu-5008 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    The texture is quite striking and I like how well it came out. To me it seems pretty. I have been enjoying how you analize and try out things in variations. It seems to be fun to explore the way you do.

  • @petapendlebury9024
    @petapendlebury9024 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Love how it moves! It's almost likes scales/armour - definitely dragon/armadillo vibes. And yes a deep russet or warm burgundy wool with a hint of silk for a sheen would make a fabulous 1870s autumn ensemble.

  • @ilzejansone6299
    @ilzejansone6299 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That's a gorgeous project! The tip about the default mode of crochet of that era being in the back loop only was so key.

  • @caroleallen9398
    @caroleallen9398 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Redemption, for sure! Brown or burnt orange would compliment it nicely, or a dark gold. Autumn colors for autumn. I love the ruffled scarf or jabot you wore with it. Bravo.

  • @MaireColclough

    I love that green color! I'm not the biggest earth tone person so I'd pair it with a deep warm purple and cream, although I also like how it looks over your red shirt. I'd love a copy of your revised pattern or the original to play with myself. Congrats on redeeming your mystery pattern!

    Those rich jewel tones would indeed all, look great together. I keep liking the idea of a rich burnt orange (probably for the autumnal pumpkin vibes).

  • @CrystalPegasusCostumes
    @CrystalPegasusCostumes ปีที่แล้ว +7

    You definitely redeemed yourself!
    Extrapolating to a full outfit, I really like how you can see through the holes at the end, so I'd stick with a light colour on top, maybe a warm yellow or cream. Then a nice rich brown on the bottom! Or a brown-cream-red pattern perhaps?

  • @absoscribblesart2020
    @absoscribblesart2020 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    You definitely redeemed yourself! It looks utterly adorable and it even fits a human! :D
    But now I am thinking if one could take the overall idea to make a top-down sweater or top out of it for a more modern approach? 🤔

  • @LualaDy

  • @howcanikeepfromsinging
    @howcanikeepfromsinging ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Interesting to see in it's intended size and texture. It still amazes me to understand how manipulating a stitch slightly differently can change how it turns out! This raised pattern makes me think of pangolin scales, although much more rounded.
    Hope your parents move went well. Nice you could help them.

    Just remember, most people argue with me that green is not a neutral color, but have you ever seen plants? They always have colored flowers with green you don’t usually see flowers on brown stems or stems blue stems. They’re always green and green. Leaves

    A burnt orange ensemble would give it a great pumpkin vibe! Or if you want a different vibe, something with neutrals like cream, tan, and brown might give it a mushroom and moss vibe. Maybe paired with some sort of crocheted handbag that's red with white spots like an amanita mushroom.

    it's gorgeous! and you'll find that it goes with everything because it's just so gosh darned handy. i have what i've been calling a capelet (a pelerine, perhaps?) that a friend gave me--it's made from granny squares (as i've been told) in all sorts of colors and goes over the head rather than ties in front (so, yes, i mess up my hair getting it on and off) but it's the first piece i reach for when i need easily removable warmth that doesn't restrict my movement.

  • @Pollenoverponds
    @Pollenoverponds 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So cool! I like olive with floral palettes. Like olive with cream & a little kitten nose pink. I think you could do some small cornflower blue accents with olive if there were other colors present, like cream & pine green.

  • @agimagi2158

    I think the green would also go well with a pink and green ensemble or purple perhaps. It could work well as a spring piece as well as fall.

  • @bunhelsingslegacy3549
    @bunhelsingslegacy3549 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think burnt orange is what I'd wear that olive colour with, but my colouring works well with either and both of those and I've worn them together before, Or purple, because everything purple is mine, all else can be dyed or painted...
    But boy, what a difference from the wool of the Andes sample!!

    This seems like a nice fall pelerine. I can see it as something one would wear to dinner or a country dance in September or October.
