Colour Joy

Here we are.  It is Monday again and I wish there was another day of weekend.  The rule is that I can only knit on Flea on the weekend.  That was my deal with myself when I let myself cast it on.  I am having so much fun knitting it that it is painfully hard to stick with that deal.

This is the colour progression as of this morning.  So far, there is not even the suggestion of colours not going together or  not working.  At least to me.  Colour is such a subjective thing. Even when I start feeling this one is not going to work, it somehow just does.

I have just split sleeve and body.  

I am so happy with the way it looks.  

I have decided to add more colour combinations.  If I stayed with my original 12, I would have lots of yarn for the sweater, but to keep to the same pattern repeat would not be possible.  Even as it is, it might be tight to get a second repeat and then have matching sleeves. Palette has 211 metres per 50 grams, so holding it double, a mere 105 metres.  

By adding more colours, I know I will only need to do two repeats of the entire range.  I hope.  It is either that or knit the lower body in the simple grey base colour I am using for ribbing.  I would hate that so I will try this.  I have picked the strongest colour contrasts that are left in my box of yarn.  With luck it will balance with the rest of the colour joy.  

Crossing my fingers.  Hoping it works.  But not till next weekend.
