Happy Napkins (Hapkins)

摘要

YELLOW, like a true diva, has been known to be a little difficult to work with, in part because it has such a light value even in its most saturated form. If you have ever looked at a color gamp, you might have noticed that yellow is the value odd fellow and stands out from among the other hues. But (like a diva) its waywardness is what makes it such a charming pop color. So I have embraced yellow, and as a consequence, I always have a good selection of yellows in my stash. For my "hapkins" (a name that came to mind as I gazed at my selection of happy yellows), I chose a range of pale yellows in 22/2 cottolin. I settled on the cottolin not only because of the nice selection of yellows I happened to have but also because it has a sturdy rusticity that I really love for my household. With yarn and rough concept in hand, I went to the "drafting" board to design these hapkins.
