Color Motivation

I’ve got to find some better lighting for these pictures. The colors aren’t being captured quite right.

However, I am enjoying the dark amethyst with the self-striping cotton. You can see the next color peeking through from under the white in the cotton ball- a sign of progress that is the perfect motivator.

I did have a stretch of mis-crosses. They were all twisting the wrong way. Nothing I can’t rectify. This is the first time I grouped the loose strands with crochet markers. It was easier to keep track of what row I was on with them.

I also repeated a row I wasn’t supposed to and think I’ve created a really cool braided knot. I may or may not tinker with it for the final pattern, but for this piece I’m going to alternate between the two variations.

So, I’m still having a lot of fun and am excited to get it long enough to begin making the arm hole. That’s going to be fun!
