I asked about ideas for this a few weeks ago. I wanted to mark my wedding day in the historical blanket I’m doing for my wedding year. I didn’t want to change the color of yarn entirely. I just wanted to mark the date somehow.
I ended up using silver embroidery thread, and I held it together with the color that I would normally use (it was cool that day, in the 50s F)
The pictures don’t do it justice. In real life it’s got really pretty sparkly glints, which are subtle but noticeable. This picture is my best attempt to capture it. Also an “in progress” photo
Thank you for all the help and ideas! I did a couple swatches of options.
It’s not actually my anniversary yet. I’m working ahead because I’m going on a romantic getaway. I didn’t want to bring this WIP with me, nor fall behind. So far I’m on track so that when I get home I can go back to one row a day.
