Venice Carnivale 2010

ET's in Venice?

Looks like ET's are participating and they've got a couple of draconians in tow...
Teal rules here with a turbaned and tartaned gent with a violin on his mind and a cat-woman attempting annonymity with a golden mask!
and they say never pair blue and green together - pishposh - humbug!

Jonquil Jumper

OK, so this is my very first ANYTHING that I've knitted! I wanted a saffron yellow sweater and voila! - I KNITTED one!!! The previous day I had received my very first instruction on how to knit...so I must be forgiven for this first attempt's shortcomings... ;-D
It took one week to complete...not bad for a first go...I think... But then again, I just might unravel it and make it V-necked, now that I've taught myself how to make that through trial and error! More knitted items coming soon...
The precise shade / hue is called Jonquil, but I like to think it's a lovely saffron yellow. And I think it would go well with this amber necklace...
it's proving to be more versatile than I thought...
 these blonde tortoiseshell sunglasses...
these cranberry red sunglasses would team well too!
