Thanks Alison! That would be a great way to use up all those
oddments of yarn laying about. Sounds like the color wheel jsut had a different name lol. I am familiar with that : ) Marie and the cats Alison wrote: I was a little unclear, Marie. The Fibonacci numbers are a numerical sequence produced by addition. Here's the first few: 1 1+1=2 2+1=3 3+2=5 5+3=8 So you could make your stripes 1 row, the next time you changed color you could do 2 rows, then 3, then 5, etc. It's a very pleasing look but not all uniform or matching. The color wheel was just looking at colors that are opposite on the wheel - like red-orange and blue-green - and seeing how they look in garments (the teacher had a sweater in these colors and it was gorgeous.) I use the Fib numbers for beading! Alison On 30 Sep 2006 19:00:50 -0700, " wrote: That sounds really interesting Alison, wish I could have gone along too. Could you please tell me a little more about this Fibonacci color wheel? I don't rmember ever hearing about it before. Kaffe Fassett is great, I have a couple of his books. He is really great with textures, colors and patterns, isn't he? Marie and the cats Alison wrote: I took a free class today at a library branch with a great knitter. We learned how to make Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise Jacket. It's very cool - you just knit, using double decreases and "make ones" and when it's finished, you fold and suddenly it's a little sweater. Of course I got about 10 rows done. We also talked about the Fibonacci number sequence (to use it in stripes) and the color wheel. And Kaffe Fassett's Magic Ball (if that's what it called) that you create out of your leftovers. She had a little pink/violet jacket that she made out of leftover yarn all joined together. I also learned of 2 evening knitting groups at different library branches - I may be doing that! Alison |

We were given a picture post card and was told to knit it. Mine was a Japanese Garden. Shirley In message %4LTg.492$Pk2.292@trnddc08, DAB writes I love your knitted picture...it's gorgeous.

Lucky you , the closest to me is a 3 hour ride with Bus ,,,
Thus i do my own and keep in phone touch mirjam Sounds fun....we have a monthly knit meet at our local Library.....we have yarn swaps and mostly bring stuff we are working on or new projects we need help with. I would love to find a group that meets weekly but the closest ones are about 20 miles from me. Donna Alison wrote: I took a free class today at a library branch with a great knitter.
