Back from Brittany. Sun, walks. Long swimming sessions in the sea (bliss). And even mornings putting on my Shetland jumper, finished just before the holidays.

And it's done! Swatched in December 2015, finished in June 2023.

Photo taken before the jumper was blocked. Happy with the fit, my calculations were right.

For the next I charted the pattern in excel and used some conditional formatting to colour the cells.
Exchanged the violet and the blue and played around a bit.
But even the much lighter turquoise does not offer enough contrast. I suck at colour matching.

This swatch, too, will not work.

I'll try, for maximum contrast, to exchange the turquoise for something really dark.

It’s day 6 of colour week, so I thought I’d share a couple more wool jumpers (though they’re a bit crumpled, admittedly!). At the front is a short-sleeved jumper from Susan Crawford’s A Stitch in Time vintage knitting book, which got me knitting again after a few years off; at the back is Marie Wallinn’s Bressay pattern from her Shetland book.

My self-taught knitting style is slow and clunky, and I had trouble getting the hang of it, but from time to time I have fooled around with type stranded colorwork. I don't do it often. But once in a while I do a little piece in the technique. This is a hat for my husband from several years ago.

Pattern: significantly modified from a fandom pattern
Yarn: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Sport, colorways Pampas Heather, Camel Heather, and Oyster Heather

Practice piece for gauge and pattern.
Am going w a different pattern in the end.
Inside view shows the ridge caused by faulty tension when I changed needle sides.

I've cast on the sweater and am in endless ribbing stage.

I attended a workshop the weekend of Jan 20th and one of the classes was to do colorwork (also called ) using two hands to maintain sanity and clean floats.

The project to try it the first time was a repeating pattern that I got pretty-far-in before I realized I went TOO far, had to frog it back, and then dropped too many stitches trying to put it back on the needles.

But now I am back to the crown reductions... And it looks neat!

Wore these for a week and decided they were too short. Frogged the ribbing, added about 6 rows in a new peerie pattern, and ribbed again.

@martinatenzer Q: does the book include advice about using steeks?
I'm looking for v trad patterns with steeks and while I can find descriptions, the illustrations are harder to find.
Am also eyeing up a book by 1 of the authors of your book:
