Colorwork

Diana was in today with a finished project. Actually 2 projects. This is the Colorwork Cap from Churchmouse Yarns. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry. 

The hat is knit with 4 balls of Rowan Felted Tweed. 

A delicious taste of stranded colorwork, this cute cap is fun and engaging, and still simple enough for first time stranders! We’ve created a four-color motif, which—as is traditional—uses only two colors per row. Then, we came up with three different color palettes and six different charts (two charts for each palette). And then threw in one more ‘plain’ chart, so that you can make up your own colorway! 

This Colorwork Cap shines in a finer DK-weight, warm and woolly yarn with a great color palette. So we picked perennial favorite Rowan Felted Tweed!

Diana knit 2 hats from the 4 balls and there is definitely enough to knit at least one more. 

Dad and I were baking while Beth was grocery shopping. We made 2 loaves of banana bread and then 24 banana bread muffins. Now it’s time to hang pictures. We are having people for dinner on Monday and the walls are bare.
