So...in playing with this, I've found I can't make text in colors other than red or orange, and shades thereof! I'm sure its my issue, I just have to play a bit more, but for now - you get ice cream colors!
Not much doing. I've taught myself a new pattern for afghans, but I sincerely doubt I will use it for an entire afghan. Its 'Diamond Trellis' pattern from Coats & Clark. It resembles lace more than anything, so I expect I'll try it with a very light yarn and a small hook, to see if it comes out better. The purple I'm using isn't very attractive! I guess that is about it, I should go find some housework to do...just not in the mood.
So what's new right??
