So right now I’m out of town wedding dress shopping with my good friend. Which means that in the past 2 months I have been to 2 weddings and wedding dress/bridesmaids dress shopping 3 times. Yeah. Vortex of Tulle. Anyways thanks to the superfun blog ahead feature I was able to post my next colorway! Which is actually very appropriate considering all of this wedding talk…
We spent our honeymoon the Caribbean island of Antigua and Barbuda:
So when everyone was commenting on beach colorways as a possibility I knew exactly the image I wanted to use:
Matt thought there should be bits of green in this yarn for the palm trees… but I disagreed. For me the ultimate beach colorway should just be the image of a perfect, clear ocean view:
Pic from here on flickr.
Aqua and sky blue and sand with bits of white where the waves are crashing. Or perhaps for the sail of a boat off in the distance…
Ultimately my idea won out since I was the one actually dying it and all…although I may have to do an Antigua II and realize his vision because I really like this colorway:
That’s all of the new colorways I have ready at the moment… however I do have a bunch more up my sleeve. When I get home I’ll post a Stitch ‘n Pitch recap and possibly some photos of hideous wedding dresses depending on how lucky we are today. I’m hoping for giant piles of tulle that turn my friend into a muffin. Or possibly a hoop skirt. Although I shudder to think what she would make me wear to compliment that.... It probably involves a hat.
I may need to learn to knit -- I've already purchased one of your colorways and have wanted to purchase just about each one of the other ones. Antigua may be my favorite so far!

Such gorgeous blues!
ReplyDeleteThe salon I bought my wedding gown from let me try on this heeeyoooge tulle muffin and take pictures to act as a decoy in case Hubster tried to sneak a peek in my planner. (My actual gown was a slinky lil' number.) You wouldn't think it, but that tulle weighed a ton!
OH that color is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colorway, you captured the sea very well!
ReplyDeleteLooking at wedding venues this week my mothers keep looking at doorways to bathrooms and wondering if my dress will fit. I'm wondering how big these dresses get!
Great colorway! I love the pics too. I haven't been to Antigua (yet) - one of the few Caribbean islands I've missed!
