All the Colours

My Friday snit disappeared once I started knitting colour.  And the evening brought a fierce thunderstorm that put down a good amount of moisture, even if a lot ran off rather than soaking in.

I knit a lot on Saturday.  The day went by so fast.  I could not believe it was 5 p.m. when I finally looked up.  Yesterday was more desultory knit wise.  The whole left me with this.  

I love it.  It is not going to be too everyone's taste, but it is to mine.  The other thing is that even if I never wore it ( I can't imagine that happening), it is so much fun to knit.  I am fulfilled.  

I can see myself knitting another of these sweaters in simpler colours.  I have a couple of yarn lines where I have a range of colours that could make stunning garments.  I wonder how few colours could be used?  This sweater is one of those all the colours in the bin sweaters.  More is better in this version for sure.  

One of the reasons I wanted to knit this sweater was to ramp up my ability to knit colourwork carrying the colours in one hand.  I really want to get my Scandinavian Star Vest finished this year before I do any other colourwork.  

The simple lice of the Flea sweater is perfect for practicing the technique.  My tension on both yarns is much better now and I am looking forward to getting even better.  Then when I get back to the vest, my work will also be much faster.  That is something to look forward to.  

So we are back to Monday.  Chores and laundry are the order of the day.  Will I knit responsibly today and finish a sleeve on the Mrs. Hunter's sweater?  Will I knit the teal garter stitch sweater?  Will I knit socks or will I blow responsibility away and knit the marvelous colours on Flea?
