I’ve been chipping away at the hip scarf; it’s an easy pattern but somewhat monotonous for long stretches. Unfortunately, it’s not very exciting to show in progress, lace being the tangled looking mess of string it is on the needles.
I have an idea to try spraying it with sparkle fabric paint for a some extra glitz. Thinking it’ll probably be best to test that idea on a swatch, anyone ever used the stuff before?
And in completely unrelated other news- I got glasses!
Hopefully now I will not have to sweat it through my next eye test at the drivers license office, heh.
That’s such a pretty shade of teal! I’ve never tried the glitter paint…I’d be concerned that the glitter would start falling out as you move around, Haha :) For the future, I’m not sure if you can get this locally in Dallas, but Artyarns has a drop-dead-gorgeous glitter lace yarn you might be interested in: http://www.fabulousyarn.com/artyarns_rhapsodyglitter.shtml
Good luck with the swatch!
The fabric paint will more than likely make it stiff. I’ve used a bunch of different paints and they all cause some stiffness. I’m sure it will look like the glitter fairy came to visit after class. It’s going to be beautful regardless.
