Stay tuned for Project Spectrum Round Two at the first of the year! We will start the year off with a rainbow of colors! Feel free to tell me what you would like to see in PSII by email, comment, or in the Flickr discussion forum.  Also, finish up those leftover projects in the month of September for Project Spectrum Clean Sweep

 

PS - So, I guess that's a yes!  ;)  I will setup a sign-up form in the next few weeks… Stay tuned!

    Those pictures look great–what a beautiful recap!! I totally dropped the ball on August–maybe I’ll put something together for a post at the end of September, to commemorate Project Spectrum Clean Sweep :)

    What a beautiful post! And add me to that list of YESes (what exactly is the plural of Yes?)! I’d love to participate in Socktoberfest.

    I loved seeing the pictures all together like that! Thank you so much for the wonderful “controlling theme” (I’ve taken too many lit classes…always in search of the controlling metaphor) of color!

    Thank you so much for the colorful ride, Lolly. I promise I’ll do better next time around.

    awesome pictures! Thanks for being host to such a HUGE internet event. You have encouraged so many people stop and take a moment to appreciate all the colors and beauty around us that we usually take for granted. Hooray Project Spectrum! And hooray for you!

    Thank you so much for Project Spectrum. It really made me appreciate all the varied colors around me.
    Please keep the postcard swap in PSII. It was a great way to be creative and so much fun, and I met so many wonderful people.
    Many, many thanks again.

    Wow! What fantastic, vibrant colors.

  12. Scouton 31 Aug 2006 at 10:52 pm

    I loved seeing all of the colors in the recap.

    Cheers! Great rewind through all the colours! Thank you for such a great idea!

    I’m looking forward to the next project spectrum. I really like the month of finishing up all the unfinished stuff and all the beautiful pictures you show.

  15. Suzanneon 01 Sep 2006 at 1:05 am

    Those are some awesome pictures. I have no color sense so love seeing what you have done! I have to make it to Knit Night! Maybe next week when I am done with night shifts?

    I love all the photos together - what a year it’s been. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading the blogs that were doing the Project Spectrum in all sorts of crafts. A very fun year. I’ll be sure to join in the next one :-)

  17. mrspaoon 01 Sep 2006 at 3:14 am

    Great photos! I’m looking forward to PS2!

  18. Melissa A.on 01 Sep 2006 at 7:55 am

    Thanks for organizing this! I can’t say I’ll be any better at participating next time around, but I do like seeing everyone’s photos!

  19. Amberon 01 Sep 2006 at 8:23 am

    Your pics are beautiful all together like that. The rainbow grid of knitting! :) I look forward to participating in PS2. ~Amber

  20. Mouseon 01 Sep 2006 at 8:45 am

    I love the pictures together - I really think that you should use a smaller version of that collage as a header for your blog!
    I can’t wait for “project spectrum 2″!

  21. Caroleon 01 Sep 2006 at 8:55 am

    It was a lot fun! I kind of lost my mojo for it the last two months because my sock knitting was for gifts and I couldn’t choose the colors. But I’m looking forward to playing with color again next year, Lolly.

  22. julia fcon 01 Sep 2006 at 9:33 am

    Beautiful post, Lolly. I wasn’t a participant (too much long term commitment for my needles) but I enjoyed it from the sidelines.

  23. maryseon 01 Sep 2006 at 9:35 am

    well you know what a fan i am of this. even at my worse, i managed to make at least one project per month. i’m a little behind, but i have two august projects that i’m going to finish up in the next couple of weeks.

  24. heatheron 01 Sep 2006 at 9:39 am

    looks like it was a fabulous summer of color…

    I love the pics.

  25. Julieon 01 Sep 2006 at 10:11 am

    Great picture show! I’m gonna have to join PSII when it comes around. Oh, and the Socktoberfest - YEAH!

  26. Jenniferon 01 Sep 2006 at 10:31 am

    I had so much fun with the last one, I’m up for the next one!

  27. Jennaon 01 Sep 2006 at 10:59 am

    All of these photos brought back a host of memeries of all of the different colors. How lovely. Fair well, PS, I feel that I hardly knew ye.

  28. Megon 01 Sep 2006 at 11:17 am

    Beautiful!! I would love to be a part of the next round :D

  29. Allegraon 01 Sep 2006 at 12:51 pm

    Great picture homage to the past six months! I look forward to the PS clean sweep this month and PS 2 starting at the beginning of next year……(and Socktoberfest!)

  30. Liz K.on 01 Sep 2006 at 1:37 pm

    The thanks are all to you. I loved how Project Spectrum was a chance for us as knitters to expand ourselves, explore beyond our usual comfort zones and really appreciate colors. It truly is one of the joys of knitting, the visual appeal of the yarn.

    thanks for organizing this, and for a truly fabulous idea!

  31. vanessaon 01 Sep 2006 at 3:05 pm

    purty pictures!! I can’t wait to PSII.

  32. Kristi aka Fiber Foolon 01 Sep 2006 at 6:11 pm

    A very fun wrap-up post! I’m totally in for another round. One with color combos would be a blast sometime!

  33. Jami Howardon 01 Sep 2006 at 10:32 pm

  34. Barbon 02 Sep 2006 at 12:32 am

    I love your mosaic. Great colors and photos. Thanks again for coming up with such a wonderful project idea. It was a real challenge and there were so many great projects.

  35. courtneyon 02 Sep 2006 at 1:29 am

    Pretty, pretty pictures! I missed PS this time around, but was inspired by everyone’s pictures, so I’ll be sure to catch it the second time.

  36. Annaon 02 Sep 2006 at 8:24 am

    Thank you for this time, it has been really fun! I look forward to next year.
    Greetings from Sweden.

  37. Wandaon 03 Sep 2006 at 10:28 pm

    Project Spectrum was really quite fun. I enjoyed seeing what you and others did with it. Sadly I was never able to really get into it. I just never seem to have the time nor creativity to come up with some of the neat things that others did. I’ll sit out the next round of PS, but I do enjoy what you’ve done with it!

  38. Joan Gon 04 Sep 2006 at 6:42 pm

    Thanks for PS, although I only just started on the August month, LOL:)
    I’m glad you’re doing a round 2 because that means I will have finished my grey FLAK sweater by then:)
    Take care,
    Joan G in Ellicott City, MD

  39. melissaon 06 Sep 2006 at 8:15 pm

    great photos! that’s exciting to hear you’ll be doing a round two starting with the new year. hopefully i’ll have some more time to dedicate to it next round.
