I have had a hankering for some colourwork lately, so when I found out about the Stranded Colorwork KAL I had to join in. I’m starting with Eunny Jang’s Endpaper Mitts pattern (and looks like I’m in good company, by the look of this list), with some Grignasco Bambi yarn in turquoise and light green. So far so good.
Speaking of stranded colourwork, here’s another one.
This is a hat that I’m knitting for one of my nephews, using some Cleckheaton Country Silk. I’m not using any pattern in particular, just following the basic hat recipe in Yarn Harlot‘s Knitting Rules! book. The fair isle pattern is my own, with my nephew’s name at the bottom section. And look, there’s a cupcake stitch marker of my own! Gifted to me by the talented Belinda.

Oh cool! I just sent an email off to join the KAL, and I was thinking of the Endpaper Mitts in the same wool (different colours). Yours look like they’re going really well 😉
Oooh, I love the look of the mitts! And thanks for pointing out that Grignasco Bambi works for colourwork – my 2006 resolution was to try colourwork and I have not managed to do any – maybe in 2007? But knowing I can use one of my favourite yarns for it is an impetus to get started, maybe with the anemoi mittens?
The mitten colours are fabulous together!
I am totally impressed! Amazing
Oh I love those mittens that Eunny made, and yours look just as wonderful. Your nephew’s hat looks gorgeous too in those colors, I have some green but it seems to go well with the white. Maybe another trip out to see if I can get some white and make a stripey cardigan for someone, you seem to always choose good color combos.
Those are very cool mittens. Colour work is fun. I just figured that out!
