Color
knitting has been on my to-do list for a while now. I’ve worked on simple color
changes earlier like the one in beanie. But I did
not know the techniques for complex patterns or for reading knitting charts.
After a lot of research I stumbled upon a book from my local library with
beautiful patterns. It took me a lot of time and effort to understand the
charts and figure out how to actually bring about those designs in knitting. It
wasn’t my first time just with color knitting; I also had to figure out the stitching
part for the lining and zipper. I managed to do that with the basic hand
stitching knowledge that I had. After a lot of trials and errors, here I am finally
with a wonderful violet purse completed with a soft and sparkly yarn from Caron
which I think would go well with my silk saree also. I just realised that my
first ever knitting project was also in a similar shade. Violets bring
me victory, probably! Now that I have a scarf, a beanie and a purse in this
shade I am planning to make something new with the fluffy balls of yarn that
you can see in the picture. Aren’t they cute?
