Sometimes, when you want to work on a crafty project you grab all the colors to see what works well together. And sometimes you never know until you start knitting. In this week’s chicken knitting chronicles, my boss handed me a skein of some WILD yarn and asked me to knit it up so she could decide if it was a mess or the next big thing. Seemed like a perfect time for an ink palette no?

So what do you think? Are these colors you would use together?
And for a little Friday earworm…
What kind of stitch do you use to get a texture like that with all the loops? That color combo in yarn is not one I’d go for but maybe someone else will love it.
It’s actually called the Loop stitch: https://www.interweave.com/article/knitting/how-to-knit-loop-stitch/
So what was your boss’s verdict on the yarn?
I haven’t gone back yet. This Friday!
