Gumption

I am trying to be responsible and keep working on what I already have started.  

I separated to work the underarms which is a huge step forward for this top.  It defines everything that needs to happen from here on in.  I feel pretty good about that.  This next bit will go much faster because the rows are going to be short.  There will be many because the body shaping happens here but  I am looking forward to interesting knitting.

When my knitting was done for the day, I went back to colour play. My plan was to colour to make a pattern to follow and to shift colours around till I was pleased with what I saw.  I could have done this by knitting a proper swatch but my yarn is a little shy so this seemed wiser.

I only did this one sample.  I like what is here and it didn't feel like I needed to go farther.  I have a feeling that no matter what colours I change or shift, it is going to look great.  The only one I am even remotely not pleased with is the soft grey and I don't think that I have another colour yarn that works.  I will search though.  The very bottom set with the green is the wrong colour.  It should be the pink at the top of the next column.

I did a check for tones and as expected, there will be a strong colour set and a softer colour set but I think that is ok.  It flows too and adds another dimension to it.

This is where it is going to get hard to keep working on the teal top.  Gumption.  That is what I need.  Gumption.
