Notes

My colour scheme was:
M = ochre
C1 = teal
C2 = burgundy (more a plum I would have said but that’s the name)
C3 = charcoal
C4 = bark
C5 = red
I only used 2 balls of burgundy although the pattern said 3 and I needed to break into a second ball of charcoal for the last line using that colour. I only used 4 balls of ochre (the pattern said 6).

I love this whole pattern book probably because it has a Rowan look about it. The yarn feels a bit rough in the ball and is quite rustic (has burrs in) but softens up really well.

First prize for article in two or more colours, Newcastle Show 2014.
