Notes

01-14-2017

Ordered the Amphora and cobbled together the colored yarns from my stash. Super pleased with how this sweater turned out, but OMG it was a labor. More than two colors in a row is awkward for me (and didn’t really get any better) and knitting and purling in the same row on colorwork is just nutty for me. I was hoping I’d come across a way to do it easier and more fluidly, but alas, I did not. I’d hold two colors then drop those when I picked up the third and/or purled, then picked two back up again. It was slooooooow going on the colorwork sections. That said, this sweater is gorgeous and garners a ton of compliments.
