I spent some time knitting this weekend. I do love stranded colorwork and following charts. Very Zen. I should knit more Fair Isle patterns so I have a better idea how the colors should work together when designing.

This is coming along OK. As you can see I am not following the colors as I started charting them. Instead I wrote my color plans in the left margin.

I did a good job designing the motifs. It’s quite enjoyable to knit. If I don’t like the way the colors come out on this one, I could always try it again with a different color combination.

What do you think? It’s still early days.
