Opening Coloured Doors

I am a bad blogger.  I haven’t updated in so long!  My excuse is that I’ve so busy lately that I haven’t had much time for anything!

Sunday I woke up bright and early to attend the Colourwork class at the Purple Purl.  Kate was once again the teacher and she did a fantastic job.  I really love attending her classes.

I learned a lot.  Both Fair Isle and Intarsia were covered (the main methods of colourwork) and I’m incredibly pleased that I was able to grasp them both.  I’ll be working on some sample swatches as soon as I’m done the second wristwarmer.  Yes, the first one **IS** done!  There was some trial and error, but it now fits perfectly and looks good too!  I’ll post photos when the second one is done.

I feel like I’m closer to finishing Mr. BF’s grandmother’s mittens by having taken the class.  I think they’ll look splendid if I’m able to use what I learned and apply it.

I find myself knitting at lunch so that I can get these wristwarmers done.  It’s therapeutic.
