knittingpixI'm working on a pair of long gloves in Mirasol Tupa, which is a 50/50 silk and Merino wool blend. No real pattern, I'm just making it up as I go along.
This isn't the best picture of the project, but it's the one that does the best job of accurately reproducing the colors. I was thinking of adding another stripe so that I would have a color for each finger. I'm not sure what I'd use, though; I've used all the blues that Tupa comes in. I was thinking of maybe a grey-blue or silver blue after the white, so it would fall in between that and the navy. My pet yarn store carries about everything Mirasol makes, so I might be able to find a color I like in some other line of yarn. I've been poking around Yarnmarket online, too, and I've found a couple of silk/Merino yarns that would be good if they're the exact color they look on my monitor.
I'm not sure, though. Does it look like it could take another color, or would that make it too busy?
I really like what I have done so far--you know, the whole dozen rounds of it.
