What I Knit – 3

My knitting has grown colorful since Knitpicks came out with their soft, colorful Chroma yarn in two weights. As soon as I saw the yarn on their website, I was entranced : I had to try them all! Okay, maybe not all, but at least some of them.

The yarn was really soft and fun to work with, and I could knit with it for months, but… I don’t wear colors! I’m mostly a black and grey person, with sometimes a touch of red or purple or blue… but certainly not rainbows. Which means that, unless I make some new, very colorful friends (maybe a a group of clowns?), I have to go back to my more neutral tones – which I also love.

Springy Mittens

So first, I made some rainbow mittens with springy cuffs. I love them! I’ve had the occasion to wear those many times since I bind off the last stitch, and my love for them has only increased.

Striped Scarf

Here’s the deal with this scarf : it’s my autumn scarf. So I’m not wearing it for a while! I really like how it turned out, but it was a bit impractical of me.

Ze Cowl

This one I can wear already though! I really like it; the colors kind of remind me my childhood years in the 80’s, beginning of 90’s.
