Photo looks grey and yellow. colors are actually walnut heather and a flat old-gold.

I’m going to start with the Walnut (warm, heathered brown) for the ribbing (main color) and stripe it with that Old Gold, then Natural.

12-26-2013: carefully packed the yarn, needles, my notions bag and the pattern into a little bin to bring it to work today and get this project started (slow, boring day here today). Of course………. I brought two sizes of needles- and both of them are wrong.
Great……….
12-27: brought the right needles today and got it started. almost no jog at color changes-- YAY! insides are looking neat-and-tidy. :)
12-28: and done!
