colour and dogs

I have been spinning again. This time I had a rainbow mix that I spun into singles and then.... well what will I ply it with. Since I could not decide what colour to do I thought I would just try a few different ones. I tried mint, royal blue, purple, lilac and then I plyed some with itself( my favourite). It was a really interesting exercise in colour- which I am not so good at yet. It is always surprising to see how various colours react with others.
I have also decided to start the modular cardi "dream coat". This will use up lots of my handspun. And stop spinning and do some knitting.
And of course I Had to add some photos of the dogs that # 1 child took. Hope you enjoy them.

I LOVE your young photographer's pictures!! Gorgeous pups!!
What a great idea to knit a 'dram coat'. I fear the spinning because it would eat into my knitting time!! Does modular mean you can use lots of different handspun wool???
