I decided to hook my namesake initial 'C' from the new line of adapted patterns I've called Initially Yours. I previously hooked the 'L' with a totally different colour scheme and thought "wow" this is an opportunity to play with colour! All of the motifs are basically the same from pattern to pattern so they all jell nicely together. The C was a lot of fun and consists of the primaries, my favourites, with a bit of green. The background was one of our shop plaids (#062) that sported a teal tinged navy. I used three value wools for the motifs, Dory Gold, Flamboyant and Lime.
This piece was hooked in #6 for all of the colour and #8 for the background. I love how this particular plaid spotted the surface with texture, giving the pillow a depth that only a fabulous plaid can do. It took me three evenings to complete so I figured I'd do a few more. I love turquoise and brown so I think I'll do the next initial with this colour grouping...the question is which one....hmmm......
