Colourwork-I'm Going In

I saw this on the Yarn Harlot's blog and loved it. So I went to Ravelry and looked at all the lovely projects people made. I thought to myself, "I haven't really done colourwork, this looks intriguing". Then I went stash diving and found some yarn that would work! (shocking, I know). Clearly the Fates were with me. Then I swatched. (another shock, I'm sure). The pattern is Catkin by Carina Spencer.

I'm glad I did swatch, as a couple of the stitches are different. Also, there are spots on the chart where the symbol(s) go over 3 or more stitches. Took a few minutes for my brain to realize that I wasn't looking for ONE symbol on the legend, I was looking for 2 or 3 grouped together. Otherwise it went pretty smoothly.

Colourwork ahoy!

Holy carp...that is a beautiful pattern! Queued, and waiting for me to have a little cash to buy it with.

I always have mixture feeling about colourework - once I adore it- then other time can't stand it! So far I didn't find out why! But one thing is sure - it is always very refreshing looking at other people coloureworks!

Go for it! I'll live vicariously through you as I have no desire to do it ;)
