“Grey” or “Gray”?

What’s the convention for “grey” vs “gray”? I’ve looked at them so long that neither one looks right.

Regardless of how one spells it, I’m continuing my love affair with textures, and with the grey/pink combination. This time I added some rust and  hints of red/peach/orange. Good enough to eat, this.

It’s a mix of fibres – cotton, merino, silk, bamboo and yes – acrylic. This will be a shawl, already commissioned.

Yeah, I think I prefer “grey”…. You?

Autumn is coming….

Cool greys, hot pinks. Lots of texture.

This is what’s on the loom today, and although every time I warp something up it’s my “favourite,” this one is up there in the top-10 for sure. It’s a shawl made of stubby cotton/mohair/mystery yarn warp, with a silky boucle weft. It’s loose and drapey, nubby and comforting.

Don’t hate me for reminding you that autumn is showing itself in cooler mornings and evenings…why not embrace it, with something pretty instead?
