et voilà …
my colour choice …
slightly influenced from the colour discussion on this blog we went to see Skyfall Sunday night.
Great movie and GREAT COLOURS !! ;-)
Couldn’t find the perfect pic from this scene though, but I think you can imagine the ambiance I was looking for.
So my first KAL will become a 007 ;-)

10.11.2012
decided to use Tortuga instead of Frost Gray for color C. As the 2 initial greys I planned on were to close and not enough contrasted for me.

16.11.2012 cast on with 5.5 needles - way too loose!!! don’t like it at all and start over tomorrow with smaller needle size.

17.11.2012 2. try on 4.5 needles … too tight … so finally the 3. with needle size 5 turns out ok.
Knitted until 6th marker.
After knitting the first rows the pattern is easy to memorize.

18.11.2012 Added some more repeats to adapt to smaller needle size.
I also did some color changes in the last rows of section 2 to soften out a little the contrast between the colors of the main body and the dark border.
Like the result so far …
Will start the 2. skein of color C this evening.
