These are the booties I'm thinking of making, Pat. There are directions in
an old SpinOff - I'll find it today and post the issue info.

The way I understand color, if any color has the same value - the same
amount of white or gray - it will match any other color with the same value.
This simplifies the color thing for me. And in the current discussion, this
would change the question to: How far can we deviate in colors' values

Colors with similar values will generally work quite well together, but
like using analogous colors, it can be boring.
When it comes to value, you can vary tremendously in a monochromatic
(one color) color scheme--in fact, you almost *have* to because it can
be so boring otherw
Would it be possible to post a simple explanation of this fascinating

I made my first pair of these booties 10 years ago and they are still my
favourite thing to felt. You shape the bootie to your foot as you finish
felting it. My husband loves when I use him as a model foot, it is quite the
foot massage. One of my booties finally got a hole so this year I get to

There was an article in Spin Off some time ago about a lady who made felted
angora (bunny) boot liners with directions to make your own. Think felting
wool or other fibers would be about the same.
Don't have the issue handy, but if anyone has an index they should be able
to locate it.

Colors have value independant to white and gray and black which are not
colors but shades. for instance , blue, red and purple are pretty dark,and
yellow is very light. orange and green having yellow in them are in between.

A friend once pointed out that the smaller the pieces in a quilt, say, the
more colors you can get away with. His reasoning? That the eye can include
all of the colors when there are smaller increments of them.
I think he's so right. You talk about using our gut feeling, and before he
told me that
And all of that doesn't even address some other considerations, in re to
color. I am always fascinated, for example, at the way different fibers take
dyes. So that, I can wear an acrylic pink with my complexion, but not a
cotton one. Go figure.
And then, recently, our 5-year-old picked 3 colors fo
You mention composition, and I would like to know if anyone in this group
has any tried-and-true rules of thumb in this regard. Oh, I've read all the
books about it, etc, but have never read or heard anything that I can apply
to projects in re to composition that works consistently.
Thankin' ya.

Thanks for all the info. I am inspired to go dig thru all my spinoffs and
make some huge socks to throw in the washing machine. Hopefully I stay
inspired and get this done before the temps drop too much. ;-)

I think that someone described this but it is a jacket for kids (though
Elizabeth did an adult version I think) knit in garter stitch with shaping

Ick. So do the uglies. (I truly, madly, deeply loathe garter stitch!)

HI All,
I've just returned from an all too short visit to Rhinebeck S&W. It was
