I’ve made this one before, but this time am using a thinner color-changing yarn. This colorway has silver tinsel woven through the strand to give it a sparkle, and is a close match to my daughter’s nursery for Cora Rose, expected in September.

I tried several other patterns first but just wasn’t happy with how it was coming out. With this type of yarn, I really don’t like having to cut and adjust the yarn color change early in the pattern. I’d prefer to not have to do it at all, however, I’m a bit too OCD and find that abrupt color changes in the middle of a round are something I just can’t handle, lol.

I’ll take some new finished pics in the daylight. The coloring is off on the ones I just took due to the lighting in here.
