Rainbow Connection

Every once in a while I knit something that even exceeds my expectations for it. I have learned that it's not only just how stunning the project is, but a project is also made by the colors you select for it and the yarn you choose.

In this case- I chose well.

Pattern: Classic Ripples by Meredith Montross
Yarn: White- Sirdar Snuggly DK (0251), Red- Sirdar Snuggly DK (86532), Orange- SR Kertzer Northern Sport (140), Yellow- Schachenmayr Nomotta Brava Baby (57135), Green- Sirdar Snuggly DK (414), Blue- Sirdar Snuggly DK (0415), Navy- Sirdar Snuggly DK (0224)
Needles: US 6
Listened To: The Hunger Games and Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins.
Notes: I've made this before but this time this project just blew my mind. I was so pleased with how it turned out and how relatively fast it came off my needles.

It even looks good on the WRONG side!

The whole time I knit this project, and even as I admire it now- I fully admit I had this song in my head. (It's a personal favorite.) I can think of worse things than having Kermit sing along to your knitting! :-)

You would think that with this off the needles and myself experiencing a little blanket reprieve that I would be all over my other projects. You'd be wrong. I'm not sure quite what's with me but I hardly knit a stitch with this off the needles. The good news (if you look at this way), is there a massive snow dump (*sobs*) forcasted for this weekend and I foresee some forced knitting time coming my way. Hopefully it bring a little progress along with it. In the mean time I might pull this out and look at the cheerful colors again.
