We've got 10 days until we
Rise to the Challenge on 1/2/12. Do you have your pattern picked out? What color palette have you decided on? Are you itching to go just like I am? I honestly can not wait to get started - it is going to be so exciting seeing everyone grow and experience new things. Plus, that
Crafter's Tool Butler from Jordana Paige is a sweet prize to be sure.
I am still on the fence as to what I am going to do for my project. I know it will involve colorworking but I am not completely sure how. Initially, I thought I would make this cute little project ~
It has the colorworking, the snowflake and it's relatively small... perfect for a first time project, right? Yeah, I thought so too but I have since begun to think that I might need more of a challenge so I've been toying with the idea of making this instead ~
I have these two gorgeous shades of green coming from
Knit Picks - Swish DK in Parrot and Forest Heather. I think they would look really great as this scarf too... and it's done in the round, not flat, so even though it's a stranded scarf, it will be beautiful on both sides. The two yarns were a part of the site's "bag sale" so I'm going to have 1230 yds of each color. I even thought that I could do a sweater but all the designs that I love belong to a pattern designer that I find difficult to understand. I know I need to keep my project on the smaller end so that I can complete it by 2/1/12 and since I will have a publisher deadline for at least one test knit in January, I really can't commit to the sweater idea, as much as I would love to... and my vicious circle simply repeats.
What do you think - keep it simple and do the headband or go for the scarf?
