Great news!

I have completed dyeing all the yarn for my Elements collections!!

WOO HOO!!

Let’s repeat.

WOO HOO!!

As you’ll remember from a previous blog post, I’m creating several smaller collections within a larger collection.

The overall, larger collection is based around the 4 elements.

So the collections within that include:

Air
Earth
Fire
Water

Each collection is consisting of 6 cohesive semi-solid shades, and 4 multi-colored shades, using these 6 semi-solid shades or close derivatives. So essentially all the shades within each mini collection are designed to match the others. Hurray for easy matching!

I’m so in love with these collections! I could just burst!

I have to say the Fire was immediately my favorite, mainly because the colors are so obvious and rich and autumnal (fall is my favorite season!) and also because the colors just fell into place easily.

Next on the “easy-to-create” level was water. The colors are truly flowy and blendy and water-color-ish and I adore them!

Air was a “leetle” bit more difficult to create as I really couldn’t decide at first what colors air should be. Hmmm? But I settled on colors you see in the sky. Grays, blues, purpley clouds, etc.

Earth was somewhat difficult, as I originally thought it’d be darker, with mainly greens and browns. I even thought about adding turquoise. But it turned out to be more of a spring-like, soft, flowery palette. I changed it (with the help of my boo) into a muted, soft, earthy, warm palette that I love!

So the collections are completed and now I will proceed with proper pictures of each skein (all taken and edited on my new iPhone 4s, which is FABULOUS!), labeling and listing them on the site. Very exciting. More news soon.

In the meantime, here’s a thought to mull over:

“Always remember, your focus determines your reality.” – Qui-Gon to Anakin, Star Wars Episode I

Hmmmm…

(I love all the subtle spiritual references in Star Wars)

Have a wonderful week!!
