Here’s my desk.
Just for fun, do you see turquoise as blue or green? Here’s a little test to find out: https://ismy.blue/ I see it more as green, and my husband more as blue.
This was my result.
I’m enjoying my Step 2 it crochet along from Polly Plum and am liking my yarn better.
Thanks all of you for your suggestions for using my sashiko panel. I’ve thought of turning my sashiko into a cushion and have another panel for Monet’s waterlillies. They’ll make a nice pair.
I was so pleased, the first time I went to Giverny, to see how Monet loved paintings/ woodcut prints by Hiroshige and Hokusai, my favourite artists.
This tutorial on sashiko is helpful for keeping my tension straight and for starting/finishing without knots.

Bella is practicing hibernation for the winter, but sends you all purrs. 
Take care and happy WOYWW.
We had a nice walk along the Military canal this week. Finally, some sun!
And finally

Apparently my hue is bluer than 97% of the population but turquoise is still green - didn't quite get that Lynne. Love the idea for your second Sashiko cushion. Hope they get to the bottom of your migraines. Enjoy art class. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
ReplyDeleteI liked the Python Beatles, lol!! Beautiful study of the apple, I liked seeing all your paint samples and notes, was interesting! Beautiful shot of the canal too, we’ve had a couple of lush days as well after a very indifferent summer. Filled the new car up for free on Saturday, woohoo!!

LOL! So ME: Your boundary is at hue 174, just like the population median. You're a true neutral. For your watercolours try https://tinyurl.com/5y3fmy72 for beautiful vintage watercolours of fruits. So stunning! And thanks for the funnies - I'll be giggling as I dash off to knit...
ReplyDeleteAnother week of a quick scoot round before knitting WOYWW!

Another busy week, I hate migraines though I don't have them too often they are awful when you get them. Love the watercolour paintings gorgeous. I have to go out oday so will come back later to try the colour test, sounds interesting. Loving the funnies too. Take care and have a lovely woyww, Angela x6x
ReplyDeleteLove your Polly Plum crochet and your sheet of apples is fantastic. I hope you have a folder to put these sheets in to record all your experiments. I think I would have used a journal to do these exercises in.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of your walk in the sunshine - isn't it good to feel the sun on your face.
Did the link you gave but it never came up with a result so I gave up in the end. What did I do wrong?
Hugs, Neet 3 xx
Love the study of an apple - I like seeing how other people work, it's so interesting. The crochet is beautiful and I love the idea for your cushion. Hope you have a great week,

Well that little test was interesting, I did it three times, two blues and a green! Two at 173 and one at 175. I do love the colour turquoise, though none of those colours were what I think of as turquoise! Fabulous crochet work. Happy WOYWW. Angela #14
ReplyDeleteThis was my result… Your boundary is at hue 173, greener than 57% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue..it’s funny how we all see things differently. I love your crochet and your watercolour is fab.

Your apple study looks very interesting and love the water colourings. My hue came out at 82% with turquoise being green. Thanks for the link. I really like your idea for the second cushion and hope all goes well at the neurologist. Migraines are awful. - happy WOYWW - Michelle #15 x
ReplyDeleteOh I just had to try out the turquoise thing, I'm a green turquoise person (Your boundary is at hue 180, bluer than 85% of the population. For you, turquoise is green.) Loving the apple study in watercolour. As I said last week I love the stripy yarn colours. Hugs BJ#12
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a beautiful canal to walk along. Good luck with the neurologist and new treatment etc. I love the new embroidery panel and I think they'll both look smashing together. Have a sunny week, Lisa-Jane #10
ReplyDeleteyour apple project is great - but I could;t get the blue/green test to work the way the others have... think I need a cuppa first! Thanks for already dropping by ad your Kew support as always. Helen #2
ReplyDeleteI love the apple painting. I would like to have some talent for painting but it just isn't so. I tried the blue/green test with the result of boundary hue at 180, bluer than 85% and rather puzzlingly turquoise is green. Silver sends purrs to Bella. Elizabeth x #18
