Pictures 1 and 4 are very good. Picture 3 is the only one that isn't a
close-up.

Nice work!

Hi,

I got 4 pics of a 'shrink' I crocheted, they're at
www.shellworld.net/~davidsky/shrink.htm , and tell me which 2 are
the best (including the 1 close-up - which one is that?).

Also, are the colors variations of green alone? ('variegated
green'), or are there also other colors?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm putting these 2 pics along
with others at www.shellworld.net/~davidsky/crochet.htm , including
text descriptions for blind people like myself.

Thanks very much!

David



I agree, 1 & 4

Dennis

The squares look great and even though they are thick they don't look thick!
Oh, you'll understand what I mean :-))

Thanks Sofia,

When I work with any yarn, I just choose the hook which feels like it will
do the job I want - so far I haven't paid attention to hook sizes or
weights of yarn.

Yes, a 'shrink' is two granny squares (one for the front, one for the
back) joined by straps at the shoulders and sides. This is only the third
shrink I've ever made, the first two I made about 30 years ago when I was
a kid. If I can find the label for the yarn I'll scan and post it here for
you.

yes, I quite enjoyed crocheting it - I wanted to make slight variation so
for the tenth of the eleven rounds of the granny squares instead of
clusters of dc3, I did V-stitches - dc1 ch1 dc1. And then I added the sc
trim all around.

Cheers,

David

Okay, thanks Dennis - I've put them up along with notes at
www.shellworld.net/~davidsky/crochet.htm .

And to Sofia (I think) - tonight I searched for the yarn label so I could
scan and post here, I couldn't find it - but I _know_ I've got two skeins of
it, I only used part of one, I must have the other one somewhere in my stash
lol!

No problem David. The only things I would like to know , the nr of the hook
and the name or nr of the yarn. Oh, and I'll end up finding those somehow.
Never mind.
Have a great Sunday :-)

Yes -- I agree with Hesira on the colors. I thought the second one was
closer than the first and fourth but not dramatically so -- The third
was the only one taken from a distance. That one showed your model but
not the detail of the shrink. Good work, by the way. Judy

Hi David,

I agree with Georgia about the good views. As for color, overall, the
shrink looks grayish green, of a medium to light value. The colors in
the variegation appear to be cream, blue green, and a dusty gray green.


Great job!

Hesira

David,

I was thinking the same thing when I read Sofia's description of the
colors. Color perception is a very personal thing, and 10 different
people might have 10 different ideas of what "green" is.

Hi Sofia,

I'll ask Ana about the hook size - I _think_ I know which one I used, I
don't label my hooks with braille or at this point have them organized in
any identifiable way. I'll also ask her to help me find the yarn label.

Happy Monday!

Hi David, I'm sorry you are going to all this trouble because of me. Today I
bought a nr 6 hook but I think it isn't as thick as the one you used in your
shrink. The next one I have is nr 12 and that one I'm sure is too big. I've
got a lot of hooks starting from nr 0.25 and there's always a new one I need
and don't have :-)

No trouble Sofia, just more steps than if I could see lol! The hook says
"5.0" on it, nothing else, I hope that's a help.

Send me your snail mail address off-list, I'll mail you a sample of the
yarn. I haven't found the second skein yet, did find the first one but for
some reason I hadn't kept the label.

Bonjour,

David
