If you follow me on social media, you know it’s no secret that I’ve been spending the bulk of my time over the past year experimenting with colourwork. I’ve knit dozens of swatches, taken colour theory class, and spent countless hours sketching charts. I’ve always been a doodler so the fact that I’ve unlocked my ability to do that on knits is so fun. This scarf has been a fun way to put all of my learning into practice. It’s a relatively straightforward project that I think creates a striking result. What more can you ask for?!
