Originally created for the 2012 Miss Babs Knitting Tour. My inspiration photo for this colorway was a set of night pictures of Berlin with all the bright lights of cars, neon, buildings, and all sorts of signs. The colors are sometimes garish and bright, but at the same time magical! The beauty of the gray and black base underlying the other colors (which can include yellow, red, green, and blue) is that it will mute and soften the brightness so that they all play nice in the knitting. Each skein is unique, just as each person's experience of the same city is unique. -Babs This colorway is a Babette: every skein and every batch is a bit different, but Babs has a method of recreating these artistic colorways.

Today we're turning over the blog to Romi Hill, lace designer extraordinaire, to discuss her latest design, the Simee Dimeh Shawl. Created together with Babs' color development in two special colorways, it features a variety of lace, textured stitches, and mosaic knitting. Babs adds: developing colors is one of the things I love doing the most, especially when it creates a result like this. The combination of colors, letting them play off one another, makes each of them stand out and have more depth. Read on to learn more about Romi's inspiration for this shawl:
