I am not a monogamous knitter! Knitting one thing, start to finish, just doesn’t seem to work for me. Lack of self-discipline . . that’s what it is.
A few days ago I was looking at Ravelry and came across Autumn Palette by Svetlana Gordon. She has the most unique patterns. I have several of her patterns but am not sure I’ve ever made any of them. I kept thinking about Autumn Palette and would love to do it for Camp Loopy but I’m not sure The Loopy Ewe has any long changing yarn. I’ve looked and I sent Sheri an email about it. If I can find yarn at TLE, I may make this for my July project.
Before committing to doing this for a Camp Loopy project I thought I’d better practice so I found some Wollmeise yarn that I thought might be a bit long changing in the colors (it wasn’t) but I had started making something else with it and decided I didn’t like how that was turning out so I was ripping project #1 out to start project #2.
This is the point where I was thinking this might not be such a good idea.
The pattern is fun and even though it takes a lot of yards, it goes quickly and it’s interesting. There’s a lot of I-cord and that takes up a lot of yarn.
I doubt I get to use this for a Camp Loopy project but I’m thinking there will be one of these on my needles soon.

That is pretty!

Love the colors and the way it changes. Fall is my favorite colorway!

I fell in love with that pattern too but refused to let myself buy it until I finish my other project from her designs that’s on my needles. She has the most unique projects/
Nelle Coursey says
This is a beautiful pattern!
Susan says
It looks pretty with the changes it has. I look forward to seeing what you use to make the real one, then.

Another rabbit hole! I love this pattern – it looks like a fun knit. Unfortunately I’ll have to order yarn for it. DARN!
