Yesterday 14 of us started on a journey together. Our fearless leader, Janice, is walking us thru the steps to knit the Sahdow Boxes Cardigan found on Ravelry. Maureen Mason-Jamieson of Kinver Beach Knit Designs created this beautiful pattern and we are having fun.
First you have to choose 4 yarns of comparable weight. No problem you say? Well, then you have to think contrast, position, etc. And if you are like me, sometimes making up your mind isn't as easy and one might think. I have changed at least one yarn every week for about 8 weeks. No lie! I'm usually so decisive but this time????? Not a chance. Last week I thought I finally had made the FINAL choice. So Sunday I sat down and began. Yep, I didn't listen. I started before class. (I'm allowed aren't I?). And I got to the second color and knit four rows - and YECCCCHHHHH! I ripped it off the needles and ripped it back to the first color.
Then I sweetly said to Honey, let's take a ride to the shop. After an eye roll that would do a teenager proud, he drove me to the shop - yes, I can do it myself but my mind was otherwise engaged. Not wanting to create an accident, I made the choice. See I can make a choice when I realllly need to. I pulled about 15 balls of yarn off the shelf and mixed them up on the table. Then I started the selection process. I eliminated the pinks all together - wasn't a pink day. And eventually made a choice.
So now we are all knitting and hopefully everyone else is happy with their color selection. I am so far.

I think the students are enjoying this just as much as the teacher and the shop owner are! Can't wait til we all finish and have our fashion show. Peggy
