Norwegian Blue

Let me introduce you to my newest knit project.

When Brett and I went to Rhinebeck, I budgeted for a small scale colorwork project and this is what I've come up with. The yarn is a simple, very richly dyed, wool yarn in Blueberry and White. I pieced together the pattern from a chart in Mary Scott Huff's The New Stranded Colorwork, a very nice book with beautiful, inspiring photographs (also a Rhinebeck buy), and the traditional stranded black and white mittens in Selbuvotter.

I made up my own chart and it's needed a little tweaking but it's working very well so far.
